Being a Mom

There are many different kinds of moms out there. Quiet ones, anxious ones, trendy ones, old-fashioned ones, etc. The one thing that I have noticed lately, now that my own daughter is a mom, is that it is important to remember not to compare yourself to another mom's mothering ways. God chose you to be THE mom to your child/ children. You have your own God-given maternal style. You are best suited to know the needs and "what works" for that pink or blue bundle of energy.Never second guess what you choose to do for the good of rearing your little one in the way he/she should go. Go with your motherly instinct- that's why God gave it to us!!  I can remember being concerned when my first daughter was born and listening to her breathe in her crib. I would put my finger under her little nose to reassure myself that she was fine. If I felt  my children needed to see the doctor, I would take them. The doctor may have been less concerned. Perhaps he thought I was an overly anxious mom since he saw countless moms with their babies, but my baby was just that~ my baby. So trust those instincts and don't worry when your contemporary moms are rearing their babies differently. I saw a commercial the other day and sent it to my daughter. I have copied the commercial in my next post entitled, "Here's the Mom video." Watch it and be warmed.
I am thankful that God allowed me to be the one and only mom to my 2 daughters. I think they turned out just right!! Thank you, God
