Being a Mother means different things to different women because we are all mothers in slightly (or vastly) different circumstances. We all love our children and do our best to raise them right. We all struggle against outside influences and the effects they might have on the malleable minds of our youngsters. Regardless of how we choose to mother, we all become a jack-of-all-trades. We all take on multiple roles. We all wear a dozen or more hats. And we all do a bang up job, though much of what we do is never noticed or acknowledged.
God bless you, Mothers!
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
she can laugh at the days to come.

ReplyDeleteMomB- Thank you for your comment, and your compliment! :) If you liked this verse, you might really like "My So-Called Life as a Proverbs 31 Wife" by Sara Horn. Sara is the incredible Christian author who encouraged me to listen to His calling and just write! :) Her books can be found online and in Christian bookstores.
