When we are in the thick of the season where our primary good works revolve around raising children, it can feel like everything we do is too little and too mundane to be significant. Yet remember that Christ said, “As you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” Our own children are not excluded from this. It’s easy to feel like they are getting in the way of what we are trying to do, but they are what we are trying to do.
