Motherhood – A Work of Art
Lenay Marteney (©2015) www.beautifullybrokensite.blogspot.com
To the mom with little children, you are their whole world. You have a big job, often thankless, but never dull! Enjoy these early years for way too soon they’re gone. And pray that God would grant you strength when nights are short and days are long. There are diapers, and tantrums…skinned knees and elbows…but keep raising those babies up in the way that they should go.
To the mom with teenagers, hold steady, for this too shall pass. They’ll be gone to college, then with kids of their own – it happens just that fast. Be an example of one who loves the Lord, and show them what it means to seek and trust in God’s word. Inspire them to be the change in the world they want to see, and challenge them to pursue all that God has called them to be.
To the mom who has a child with extra challenges and special needs; God picked you out on purpose, he must have known your strength. You know the strain of motherhood in a completely different way, but would you give it up or change it, even for one day? A mother’s heart loves just one way…it only loves completely, it aches and triumphs just the same, no matter the disability.
To the mom who’s lost a child, with you we ache and grieve. There are days when you must feel, the pain will never leave. And in fact it might not, yet you strive to press on, for simply having is a blessing, no matter for how long. Knowing your child is in a heavenly place, is a reminder to all, of God’s goodness and grace.
To the woman who longs to, yet has not conceived…you are not defined by infertility. Despite months of trying, perhaps years of feeling empty, do not think that a mom you can never be. Bearing a child of your own is not the only way, you can love, nurture, and guide those in your midst every day. God is in control though you may not understand, trust in Him, He knows your heart and He holds the master plan.
To the mom who’s older now, with kids who are all grown, perhaps they’re very busy, being parents to their own. So much wisdom and advice about parenting you could share, but you know most of all, your kids still need your prayer. Though it changes over time, a mother’s job is never done, to teach and mold and point the way to Christ, the Saving One.
To women of all ages, with children or without, how many, if any, or what age, is not what Mother’s Day’s about. God created each and every one of us unique, all beautiful, all gifted, with different weaknesses and strengths. Motherhood’s more than physical, it’s an attitude of the heart, to bloom where e’er God plants you, you are His work of art.
