"There's no job more noble on this earth, than to care for those
whom we've given birth."
"Mommmmmm, he won't give me my toy!!!" "Mommmmm he hit me!!!"
"Mommmmm, she's teasing me!!!!" And so goes the life of mommmmmm!
Well it's not always that bad is it? There are the times when we
hear, "Mom, know how much I love you?"... "Mom, thanks for getting
me that piece of fabric".... "Man mom, this is so good... what is
it?"
Mother's resume would read quite elaborately; we are
professional's in many areas. To name a few~ doctor and nurse at
the same time, counselor in every field of life, sometimes a
coach~ but I usually hand that job over to dad, seamstress~ that
job usually gets handed over to Taylor, chef, organizer &
planner, home decorator, gardener, I leave the lawn care up to
fellows in the house, and of course teacher.
I believe first and foremost we are teachers. Our children learn
how to do most things in life from mother. The first and most
impressionable years for most young children are in the arms of
mother. This is where they learn to share, to be nice, get
dressed and tie shoes, ABC's & 1,2,3's, colors, shapes and
animals... all in the lap of mother. There is a saying though,
"More is caught then taught." This is the challenge I feel as
mother most often in my duties. Sometimes I am grumpy and not
always as nice as I truly want to be... sometimes I get frustrated
more quickly than I would like to... sometimes I am just having a
bad day and don't feel all that nice... what am I teaching them
then? I realize no one is perfect and we all have those bad days,
but love must shine forward. These little people need to know we
tried and that they are unconditionally loved, not only when they
are good, but even when they are not so good. Our Heavenly
Fathers grace and forgiveness shines on us and we as parents must
let that love shine through onto our children. May the Lord give
us grace to carry on and love them to Him...
Until next time,
Jean
