The Importance Of Mom

Do you have a mom? I know those who have had amazing mom's and then those who have either had no mom or their mom wasn't what they should have been. I have seen the affects of the positivity a good mother can bring to a child's life. The love, joy and encouragement they bring to their children's lives is amazing. A mother is an EXTREMELY important role; one that needs to be taken quite seriously. Because on the other hand, the one's who have not had a mother or had a very negative motherly experience have suffered immensely emotionally, mentally and sometimes physically.

As a mother myself I have seen the influence I hold over my son. He looks up to me, imitates what I say and do, watches my reactions to circumstances and to people. I am teaching him even when I don't intend to. As mom's, we literally mold our children into habits and reactions. I have been told by my dad multiple times that I am a lot like my mom. I can't imagine why :) and it's a good thing! My mom is an amazing woman and has been a huge role model for me. 

My mom has influenced my life in a very positive manner. She has always been there for me and still is. She is who I call when I need a friend, she always has great advice and a listening ear. I don't know what I would do without her. She is amazing.

I want to encourage those of you who are mother's. When you do your best to raise your kid's you are doing the most amazing thing you can for them. We all make mistakes; our kids don't expect us to be perfect, but motherhood isn't about being perfect. It is about unconditional love for our kids, molding them into decent human beings who have morals and good character. We are creating people for the future of our world.

Remember on those hard days; It's okay! Your kids are growing up extremely fast and someday, as in my case, they will tower over you. I have added one of my favorite aspiring scriptures from Proverbs. Christian or not, these are things I wish to strive for. I want to be her, especially verse 19.

Happy Mother's Day beautiful ladies. You ARE amazing! I hope you have a blessed Mother's Day; the one that you truly deserve.

Proverbs 31:10-31 New International Version (NIV)

Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character

10 [a]A wife of noble character who can find?

    She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her

    and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,

    all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax

    and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,

    bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still night;

    she provides food for her family

    and portions for her female servants.

16 She considers a field and buys it;

    out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;

    her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,

    and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff

    and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor

    and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;

    for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;

    she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,

    where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,

    and supplies the merchants with sashes.

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.

31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,

    and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
