Christ in you, the Hope of glory

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily. Colossians 1:27-29 NKJV

My husband and I were talking thismorning about whether some things have to give when you go down the track of having a big family and being in ministry. It was only a short conversation. We decided we just prioritise things differently! It's definitely hard work but everyone is laboring in some way; that I've learnt. Thank you Jesus that when You are working in us mightily, the laboring is more like pushing a trolley straight through a supermarket (hard work, but worth it in the end) than lifting a piano up a 10-story flight of stairs (just ridiculously hard work - no-one needs a piano that much)!
