Women

I read the saddest poem the other day about a young lady that wanted so badly to have a relationship with her mother. I could not tell in the poem if her mother was deceased or just not willing to have a relationship with her.

You know one of our callings as a woman is to have children, but to be a mother is a whole different calling. God has to teach us how to be mothers. When I had my oldest son I was 19 and married very young, we didn't even stay married 18 months, you know that first love thing. I didn't know anything about being a mother.

It was ten years before I remarried and God has such a sense of humor because he gave me two step children and I was pregnant with my second child, talk about a trial. I was so angry for years because I didn't want to have all these children.

Then God really put the pressure on me when I started working as a House Parent with my husband in a group home for troubled teens, then I became a mother to twelve more kids, so now I have 16 children I was a mother too.

You don't have to birth children for God to make you a mother to them, as I told this young lady. God already knew many parents would not fufill their calling because he said"When your mother and your father forsake you then I will take you up"..

God had us covered all the time!! When your mother or father does not do right by you then I the Lord God will step in an rescue you, what a promise to hang on to!

If you have the privilege of being a mother, then treasure it because it is one of God's greatest gifts. And if you don't have children, find a child you can be a mother too, there is always one somewhere even as close as your own backyard.
