MOTHERHOOD

Hi Moms, hang in there. You're doing a great job. I know there may be times when you look around in this season of your life and ask..."Where am I?" If you're like me, usually by the end of the day you're in a place most of us moms are familiar with, it's called "exhaustion".

But you know what? These little whirlwinds and dynamos are only this age once. Sure it gets tough picking up the living room floor for the umpteenth time over a course of just a few hours. Or running from here to there on automatic, trying to get to your meal while it's still warm in the midst of sequences of . . . "can I have mores". Late nights, and early mornings aren't necessarily a picnic either but we mothers are blessed with a love that rises above the challenges of motherhood with grace. It is an enabling power from within that allows us to carry on and do it all over again tomorrow. Each time with a little more ease than the day before. This season of our lives is a place of growth, learing, trusting, leaning on, hoping, enduring, and most of all loving. Loving those within our keep unselfishly. Determined to set the stage of our homes and lives in a manner worthy of the high call we hold in this life.

Mothers be encouraged for you are doing a great work, one of unsurpassable beauty. Polishing gems to shine for glory; hanging stars to illuminate the night; adorning hearts with the love and wisdom of their Creator. Yes, motherhood is the greatest and most challenging task you will ever do, but it also carries with it unparalled benefits for you, your children, and the world, one day at a time.

Encouragement

Posted by hippieearthmama

Yet another beautifully written post on Motherhood! I have found, maybe this has come with age, that I too, am able to encourage Mama's around me. I have "seen the light", and I know the benefits of sticking it out with our children. The peace and sweetness comes; but we have to be strong enough (with God) to ride the waves. I find it disheartening that so many Mama's need constant encouragement.......is it our society? I'm sure it is. Geez, turning on the TV for an hour makes me insecure!!

Thank you for the encouragement..........I pray Mama's all around here this sweet prayer from you, one of our Sisters in Christ!

Peace & Blessings!
