I wanted to encourage moms today and let them know how awesome they are! I'm normally the mom feeling exhausted--flat on my face asking God to please help me because I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm not always so confident in my mothering. I'm encouraged by the fact that my kids love me. My hope is that if my kids don't remember anything I've said, that at least they remember I tried to teach and imitate Jesus.
A couple of weeks ago I was on a plane ride and this mother sitting across from me was struggling to get her boys to settle down. They made this huge scene... I could tell this mother looked mortified and I wanted to console her, but she looked like she wanted to hide in a cave. All I could do was pray for her. Then later she pulled out a Joel Osteen book titled, Every day a Friday. I felt like God was showing me this woman felt overwhelmed.
Then the other day I was at the grocery store and I saw a mother come in with her two children--they were probably 3 and 4 yrs old. and while she was wiping the shopping cart down, she looked exhausted and irritable. It looked like she needed the assurance that everything was going to be OK. God's been showing me how much prayer and encouragement we mothers need. Mothers need to know that they are doing a good job. Everyday doesn't have to be a perfect. Thank God for praying moms. Next time you see a mom encourage them.
