Reflections On Motherhood

On February 9, 2012 I became a proud grandmother for the first time. I was amazed at the different levels of emotions that went through the essence of my being.  I remembered  holding my own daughter and feeling that no matter what happened in my life that as long as I had her I would never be alone again because I am connected to someone else. 
As a grandmother, when I hold my grandson I forget everything happening around me and my entire being is focused on one thing -MY GRANDBABY

          

 Here are some thoughts that I have on motherhood.

Having a baby changes your life FOREVER.

You will always feel responsible for someone else.

Your life experiences make you the best storyteller.

Your words of advice will echo on in your children's heads.

A wise mother knows when to be quiet and when to speak.  





I had the pleasure of my mother and sister visiting this week and the joy of being connected was enforced. I have learned so much from watching my mother and I see so much of who I am in her. I see her kindness and compassion; her politeness and respect; her values and integrity. She never sat me down and say this is how you must live but she lived the way she wanted me to follow.

My sister is a wonderful mother and I am always amazed at her wisdom in raising her own kids and even more amazed when she asks my advice because I see her doing a great job.

These ladies are the role models and mentors for my own daughter and I am thankful to God that the next generation in our family will be taught the way of the Lord.

Happy Mother's Day!
