That little one placed in your arms by the Father up above, was entrusted to your care for one purpose….to bring glory to Himself through His creation. These little souls do not really belong to us. They are only borrowed for a time….
Treasure these precious moments you have with the Lord’s heritage for they pass much too quickly! Memorize the feel of that warm little body in your arms. Enjoy this priceless time.
We go through life protecting our children’s bodies, but we must be diligent to also protect their souls. We have an enemy that is just waiting to devour our little ones’ soul. Do not be selfish with your own heart and life. Live the Christ life in front of your children everyday.
The time you have to train them up in the way they ought to go is so short! Deal with your own personal anger, bitterness and disappointments for if you don’t ….you will indeed train your children in your own path.
The Other Side of Motherhood….
One day your children may be taking care of you! How we loved and nurtured our little ones will come back to bless us….or curse us.
It is important to be a good mother…but it is equally important to be a good child.
“Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” Deuteronomy 5:16
We must love them while we can!

Touching...
Children are a blessing... a gift from God, and it is such a joy that God has counted me worthy to carry the title of "Mother."
