There is no doubt that motherhood is a divine calling. I believe women are co-creators with God,
meaning we have the noble task of bringing God’s precious souls into this
mortal life.
I don’t
understand how when holding a newborn one can doubt or disbelieve in the existence
of God. When I hold these sweet spirit
sons and daughters when they enter this world an indescribable peace, love and happiness
washes over me, as if they are delivering blessings and well wishes from
friends and family past.
This is a
very humbling moment; at least for me.
These little angels come to us perfect and while caring for these sweet
defenseless souls, I feel all my inadequacies highlighted as I wonder, how I am
going to teach them to be exactly as they are now: loving, peaceful and in tune
with God?
I know I
am meant for this calling, or I know I would not have been blessed with the
children I have. Some days I just wish I
was a better me so I can better help them be the best they can be.
As long as you are trying, you are doing your best. We all have off days or moments when we lose momentum. It's the getting back up and trying again that shows our children we don't have to be perfect, just do the best we can in each moment and each moment isn't always the same.
ReplyDeletewhat a great perspective Laura: not to teach them to be perfect, but to try and be our best as perfection isn't possibel on this Earth; meaning teach them how to recover from mistakes. Thank you I needed that :)
ReplyDeleteeven though you aren't perfect you are still a great mom and you still try to teach dorian to love and be kind to everything and those are important traits not to mention they are super cute so that has to be a plus some where josh
