HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
What joy the birth of my sons has brought to me! As I held each one of them in my arms and kissed them for the very first time, it was truly LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! Lots of fond memories fill my heart today as I am remembering MY first Mother's Day!
Many times I have felt like my job as stay-at-home "MOM" has been of small significance and not very glorious! I have sulked in the fact that women "out there" in the world get so much more praise from society in their professions. Many women have lots of degrees and education, they make more money, they appear more "blessed" from a worldly standpoint.
Then I am reminded of the timeless worth of the job of "MOTHER". For, what degree of education can replace a hug and a kiss, what amount of money can buy Love, what value can be placed on the care of and attention to all the details of raising a family. No job can ever replace the joys of being there for a baby's first step, first words, teaching your little one to read, watching and caring over your children as they grow into youth and then into adults. Truly, "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world", in that being a Mother isn't just about having children. It's about molding and shaping the next generation. And more importantly, it's about teaching and training the next generation to be godly genuine Christians!
I am so thankful to God for this amazing privilege!
I am certainly not a "perfect" mom, and my young men are not "perfect" children (although I think their pretty fine!), but I am so happy that God chose to put us all together and call us a family!
Thank you, Lord, for blessing me and giving the the chance to be called "MOM"!
