Thanking God for the gift of Motherhood

I thank God for the gift of being a mother. I count it a great honor to have the privilege of being a mum to God’s children. That God could choose me to be a mum leaves me in awe.

When we had our first daughter, sometimes I would wonder if I was dreaming and would wake up to find that it was all just a pleasant dream, but it was all real.

I used to think that children don’t come with a manual, but they do, read the Bible and pray every day. By His grace, I came to understand that God is the manual for the children and I have to learn of Him.

I thank God for seeing me through: one c-section, one three weeks overdue delivery, one at home delivery and one complicated footling breech delivery. Glory be to our Lord Jesus Christ.

I thought of you when someone said: “I’ve had enough–I can’t take this anymore.” they were overwhelmed and engulfed by so many troubles. Then I thought how do you make it? You who have every reason to give up, but you choose each time to stay strong and sweetly whisper: “all is well.” with a strong and a big smile.

When I asked myself why do you do this, then your heartbeat responds it’s all because of you child.

I thought of you when I heard them say they have 2 to 3 jobs; they work nights or days and only get a week or two to rest with a meager wage at the end of it all. I chuckled and thought, what would you say then? You are always on duty 24/7; 7/7;365 days/year. Multitask is your nickname, and you have a never-ending job. You fill in so many positions, and you carry yourself proudly and gracefully tackling any task that comes your way. An educator you are, a counselor you are; a cook; a therapist; a nurse and the list goes on and on — all free of charge.

I think of you every time I read or hear the word heroine; superhuman, extraordinary, bold, beautiful; courageous; prayerful; intelligent; fierce; loving because those adjectives describe who you are.

Your heart is caring, and your love is selfless. God bless all the mothers for all the exceptional work they’ve done and are doing.

Happy Mother’s day to all mothers
