Nothing Compares to the Love of a Mother
'A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us; when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavour by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
'You may have tangible wealth untold; Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.Richer than I you can never be - I had a mother who read to me.
'The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always
When You Lose Yourself, You Find Yourself....................
This point is really so cliché, but there is probably nothing that makes more parents, mothers especially, nod in agreement than this sentiment. Like most things, it can be hard to understand if you haven't experienced it. However, losing yourself in service to family and children becomes a way to find the best and most beautiful traits that are in your person. Children can be frustrating, to say the least. However, they make you a better person as you strive to work with them, guide them and develop their traits in the most positive direction. In the process, you develop yourself as well, often without even noticing.
Parenthood is not the panacea for all of life's ills, necessarily. However, motherhood brings beauty and purpose into the lives of millions of women. You will likely never feel the depth of love that surges upon you when you look into the eyes of your child. This mother love is something that is much sought, but not always found. As a woman, what a blessing it is to have the opportunity to create it in your own life.
The Taste of Responsibility
Many people, men and women, spend much of their life dodging any situation in which they are required to take responsibility. After all, it's much easier to just focus on yourself and what your immediate wants and needs are. However, being a parent is one of the quickest ways to give that taste of responsibility. When you have children, you don't have the luxury of being too introspective; instead, you automatically see things as how they would best benefit the development and safety of your children. Don't look at this as a negative thing. It is impossible to claim your place in an adult society without accepting responsibility. Often, parents find that they had strengths and resources that they never knew were there.
Can You Ever Truly Know What to Expect?
Women who were raised in large families tend to anticipate what raising their own children will be like. While the love of a sibling can be a small taste of what motherhood will bring, it just can't come close to the joy and connection that you will feel when you first taste mother love. There is a connection with your own children that no other relationship can quite touch. For some mothers, this is initially overwhelming, but you will soon grow into this new role. Also, don't feel that the love you have for your firstborn will make it impossible for you to add siblings to the mix. Like anything, your ability to love and nurture will grow with each new
Every day should be mother's day, but since it just doesn't work that way in the real world, it's nice to have a special day to honour women... and specifically those brave souls who take on the enormous task of motherhood.
I can't imagine anything that's quite as intoxicating as watching your newborn baby sleep, the toothy grin of a toddler, or a warm hug from a teenager. The years, days, moments pass so quickly... let's celebrate mothers day with an outpouring of love.
