What it Means to Be a Mother

There are moments with my children that are priceless

There are times when I am so overjoyed to be a mother

To hear the sounds of tiny footsteps running through the house

To hear their voices when they cry

The proud feeling you get

To know that you are a leader with authority

The calm position of being a nurturer

The fact that you are a beacon of light

The high calling that God has called you to

The blessing that was bestowed upon all women

There is the fact you forget all the pain of labor

But you know that  you have power and strength to carry life

You do not care about awards

Or want to be mother of the year

My joy comes from the laughter of my children

Their voices

sweet

precious

loving and joyful

A mother is so many things

She is a

teacher

mentor

trainer

coach

friend

minister

nurturer

Most of all

She is a woman of God

designed to teach her children about God and life

A mother is more than a job it is a calling that I am honored to have.  I have been anointed to raise my children in the admonition of the Lord. 

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates"  Deuteronomy 6:5-9

Until next time may the Lord bless you with peace and prosperity.
