"God could not be everywhere and that is why he created mothers"- Rudyard Kipling
Let me start this post by mildly disagreeing with this quote. Let me explain why I need to do so. The nature of God is omnipresence, which means He is everywhere otherwise He wouldn't be God. I would like to put it this way God created mothers so His presence could be felt everywhere. Sorry Mr. Kipling, I know what you meant but I had to made the meaning clear. Now, that I've established my stance on this quote I can go on with the rest of my post.
I never fully understood the role of a mother until I became one. From being someone whose focus was on education, career, marriage and doing my best in a those areas I was otherwise my own person. However, the instant I held my first baby in my hands and felt his heart beating close to mine I changed from a girl into a woman, from a woman into a tiger, from selfishness to selflessness, a mother whose only focus was that little being that she gave birth to.
I would not eat or sleep because I was worried about the well-being and comfort of my infant. My baby was all I cared about. The love that flowed from my heart was a different kind, the kind that would sacrifice everything for the happiness of this little creature which was now mine. The need to protect my baby and fight like a tigress for her cubs was my first priority.
My heart melted at every smile, every googoo gaga and every little movement my baby made. I watched over his every movement until I could not do it anymore and then I fretted if all was okay with him when he was out of my sight. He is all of 26 now and I still fret about him and his younger brother. Such is the heart of the mother.
God certainly created mothers so they could be like him watching over their little children in every way and at all times just as he does. It is easier to understand God when you understand the heart of a mother.
It is not easy to carry a baby in your body for 9 months. The morning sickness, the mood swings, the weird cravings at unearthly hours and the aches, pains and various discomforts that come with it are all forgotten the moment a mother holds her baby in her arms.
The sacrifices parents make to see their children live their best lives is admirable. However, let me tell you it doesn't feel like sacrifice when love is involved. It comes naturally to a mother. No wonder God chose women to have babies.
My boys have all grown up one is a doctor and another is in med school. Do I still worry about them like a mother hen? Yes, I do! I plan my life around theirs, my life's mission is to see them happy, doing the things they love and being who they are meant to be, wonderful human beings. I want to see them live their lives to the fullest, living up to their best potential.
When my children have their own children they would still be my babies. They never grow up in the eyes of a mother. It's not that we want to hod them back, its just that we continue to love them as they were once, innocent, beautiful and childlike.
They may not be dependent on us anymore; nonetheless, we still do all we can to make their lives rich and meaningful. Once a mother always a mother.
A mother is someone who carries her burdens in her heart while smiling at her children. She tries to carry the burden by herself never for a moment letting her children see her pain.
The role of a mother is a multifaceted, she is a nurturer, a teacher, an encourager, a protector, a provider and most importantly a role model. She teaches her children every life skill that needs to be taught right from basics to the complicated ones from management to resilience. She doesn't have a classroom nor she does she lecture everyday, she does what needs to be done and let them learn from her example.
As a mother I feel so honored and content when I see my children being kind, empathetic wanting to serve others and doing what is best for their community. My heart fills with pride as I see what they accomplish with their lives.
Honestly being a mother is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love being a mother, no I don't play God but I enjoy the special gifts He has given me as a mother.
Yes indeed, God has the heart of a mother and so he has employed mothers to take care of his babies on this Earth! Mothers are just his lieutenants, his stewards on this earth.
We own nothing, all we do is give until we ache. The love of a mother! It is an honor, a privilege and a gift from the most high God!
