"Every true mother realizes at times that her children are only
loaned to her- sent from God- and the attributes of her body and
mind are being used by Power for a Purpose. The thought tends to
refine the heart of its dross, obliterate pride and make her feel
the sacredness of her office. All good men everywhere recognize
the holiness of motherhood- the miracle by which the race
survives." Elbert Hubbbarb
At times being a mother is terribly difficult. When training is
necessary for the good of the child, yet the mother heart longs to
simply hold and make everything alright for them. Learning life's
lessons are surely a trial and a difficult part of life, but also
a part that will hopefully build the character they will need to
make the right choices as adulthood comes. Life is filled with
choices.... some choices are by far more weighing and life
influencing than others. It is such a trial for me with allowing
my older children to try their wings... to let them fly away a bit
and trust them to make good decisions... youth is so exciting and
the senses become so enlightened. As parents we do all we can to
try to protect them from making the same mistakes we have made...
we try to ensure they don't experience the pains of those mistakes
because we love them so much...
But then where is my faith and my trust that God really is in
control? I know He has promised that, '..train them up in the way
they should go, and they will not depart from it..." I must
believe and trust.
Until next time,
Jean
