Who's The Greatest Mom

You Know?

By Robin F. Page

Who is the greatest mom
in your world?    

Around Mother’s Day, most people think the answer to this question is their Mom.  But this is not a Mommy’s Day article, but an everyday article.

Most people value their own mother above most others, and for those of us who are moms; we fail to realize our own value.  We handle the business of our home everyday (some with help and some without) and usually we don’t complain, we just do it.  I think it is time we change how we value mothering and I have every intention of doing so.     

Whether working in or outside of the home, think about what you do for your family.     

I have often heard it said if the husband is the head, then the wife is the neck.  As the neck, you help the head turn towards the right decisions for your family.  You make your family a success!  If your family is happy and thriving – you are the wife and mother the King wrote about in Proverbs 31.  If you are a single mom, you may be more of this than we married women can even imagine!

So let’s take a look…   

• We make sure our family is fed (whether we cook it ourselves or warm up what someone else has prepared, either way, we make sure they have something to eat).
• We make sure our family is clothed (whether we make the clothes, swap for clothes or shop for clothes…now if they like our style or not, is another story).
• We make sure our family finances are in order (whether we bring home the dough or not – we make sure it goes where it needs to:  giving, bills, investments, shopping, activities & more).
• We make sure our children are learning (whether that is through traditional education or other creative styles, we believe in their potential).
• We make sure the family activities are scheduled (whether we can be there or not, we will be sure the kids get to basketball or ballet, etc.).
• We make sure our house is in order (whether it looks that way to anyone else, the family knows if they can’t find it, ask Mom).
• If applicable, we make sure our husband is satisfied (period J).
• All the while, not neglecting our own purpose (whether it takes a year or two or more, we know we can’t truly be good to our family, if we neglect ourselves).  

Now, none of us are perfect and we can all learn from each other, but I want you to know you are a great mom just as you are!  You make these things happen for your family the way that best works for you.  You are today and everyday the greatest woman in your husband and/or child’s life so know it and own it.  It is past time for moms to realize their value in this world, no matter if you have been a mom for a day or for years.  We give love the way only a mom can and that is what’s remembered.  Many take us for granted, but we can no longer take ourselves for granted. You are the greatest mom in your world!    

Thanks for sharing Your Greatness with the rest of us.

Keep Living the Kingdom Life...Day by Day,
