Thoughts On Motherhood

Motherhood is an awesome thing. God has blessed the world with the love of mothers. God has honored mothers who trust in Him.

I know many mothers who, when dealing with the emotions of expecting that first child, have wondered if they would be able to fulfill the responsibility
about to be hers. I also know that the wise mother calls on God for the strength, courage, and wisdom to raise her children.

On this day when we honor our mothers and thinking of the awesomeness of motherhood, I offer these thoughts:

MOTHERHOOD

Motherhood brings such responsibility
To nurture the family entrusted to you,
You wonder if you’ll have the ability
To be the mother God expects of you.

But when in Him you place your trust,
Then motherhood brings you joy,
And you will do all that you must
To raise that little girl or boy.

Motherhood means watching them grow
From a small child into maturity.
Teaching them the Way they should know,
Providing them with faith’s security.

Yes, Motherhood means children to raise,
And helping keep the family strong,
Through loving them and offering praise,
Providing a family where all belong.

Motherhood - God’s high calling to you
Who so willingly give it all of your love.
We give you our praise for all that you do,
Giving thanks for you to our Father above.
