Being a mother is a joy! I will never forget the day I found out I was pregnant with my first child.
Getting fat was wonderful! feeling each bump was great, nothing bad, all a joy. Then LABOR..yah...that was not fun. but the end result was great. Then I did it again...and again...and again...and so on and so on!
After all was said and done, I was a mother to 5 growing children, many many sleepless nights. And to this day I have not been able to figure out why they all puked in the night, Or why ear aches came at night..what was up with that?!
As my kids grew I found myself a mother again but this time the child was preborn..no labor! So, now a mom of 6, some in college, some married, some in school, some working...no matter what they are doing in life,I am still the mom, and I love them all.
God knew who he would send to us to raise. he knew the 6 that would love me and call me mom. He knew the 6 that I would love and call them my babies.
Yesterday I was speaking to child number 2, She is a precious child and a loving girl. Although she is one who needs to know mommy loves her deeply. Some of my kids are fine with the 'I LOVE YOU' that I tell them many times a day, but number 2,,well she is a bit different, she is the one who needs to speak to me 3 - 4 times a day, nothing to say but 'hello' and I love you. She is my child that one hug isnt enough, If I could sit with her she is the one that would climb on my lap to be held, she is a child that God has gifted her with a natural love for her mama. I know that if anything in this crazy world happened to me..Number 2 will be there for me and protect me. (the others would also be there, but #2 will take charge)!!
God gave this natural love for us mothers and we love them all, yet, we hold a different understanding for what the children need from us. Just like God understands you and me. he knows how we need to feel his love and gives us all different things in life to show us.
God commands us to not be jealous, He isnt saying that because he doesnt want you to like your friends clothes better then yours, God knew the other persons needs and desires, though you may also desire the things others have..will it really fufill you? God only wants to love on YOU for what YOU require and it is much deeper then worldly things. Rejoice for the things God have blessed others with..and you will be rewarded in the plans in which he has for you.
So, watch your kids and see what they are needing from you and go with that. each person has their own love signals.
#2....I LOVE YOU
