Moms are amazing! My daughter-in-love cares for a little one year old who is suffering with seizures right now, while also caring for 2 other awesome little preschool age boys. She trusts by faith for God to see her through this time. Another friend has just had a new baby, when her house is full of little ones already - she is rejoicing, and so are we for her. A single mom continues day by day to faithfully minister to, guide, and care for her 4 children in a very difficult situation. A mom's light never really goes out; her heart is always tuned to give her life away. God's idea for moms goes way beyond what any of us have to offer, but not beyond HIS. He gave us such a powerful "mom's heart" when he made us. The first mom, Eve, was called "mother" before the first child had been seen or even imagined. She was called "Mother" before there was one...now that tells me something big! It was a calling - a destiny - a mandate on her, and therefore, our lives.
It may have been a hard day, a taxing day, a frustrating day for you. You may have gotten bad news or found out you were moving... or it may have been a glorious day at your house. All I know is that God wants us to embrace this calling of motherhood, knowing that He has given us everything we need to accomplish it...not in the way that the world might do it, but the way He would have us do it. Hug your children, value the relationships you have with them, call on the Lord to walk with you as you are a mother after His heart. Do not try to do it all - just do the "mom" part and rest well tonight because you have lived in your calling!
