Full Time Motherhood - the career with possiblities

We have been talking about Full Time Motherhood as the career with all possibilities. Besides all other skills and experiences a mother can develop, the most important task of all for a mother is to bring up her children. This is her main duty. The career of motherhood is one of noblest, most challenging, yet most rewarding one because a child carries our hope, our linkage from present to future, our strength and weakness. A mother, being a coworker and stewardess together with God, our creator, will shape up a human. Every child is unique to his/her mother and every mother is special to her child. You don’t have to be a perfect mother, just be a whole hearted mother. What a privilege and responsibility that will be.

When a woman becomes a mother, she experiences so many wonderful transformations. From a tiny egg in her womb miraculously conceived, from tiny embryo miraculously formed into a shape of a human, from the labor of birth, from the first feeding, not only physically, emotionally, but spiritually a woman is transformed from a maiden to a mother. Sometimes, that can be quite overwhelmed; a new mother certainly needs support and tender guidance. Mother’s job is endless, feeding, cleaning, washing, after a while, feeding, cleaning, and washing. I well remember how tired I was those days. But, when I saw my baby sleeping face, as peaceful as an angel; when his little arms holds around my neck; when I touched his tender cheeks and smelt wonderful baby’s smells… the joy, unspeakable, swelling inside my heart. I am so glad, so glad, I am a Mother.

It doesn’t matter how tired you may be, you gain great strength in your soul, It doesn’t matter how lonely you may be, you will find the great comfort lies in little smiles of your children, and soon you will have some great friends; It doesn’t matter no one appreciate you, not yet, will come. It doesn’t matter you have no pays for all these hard works, your rewards will be recorded in the hearts of loves and in our Father’s book of life….

Mothers, be proud of yourself, be proud of this wonderful career.
