It is far too often that I hear the term “Mom” thrown around. Especially in the world of the work force I will catch people, sometimes even myself throwing this pinnacle of a word around like its, well….. not much. Going into the new year my goal for my own life, and for the life of the mothers in my social sphere, I want to regard that word with respect. By intentionally offering this honor to my fellow mothers and of course my own mother. I pray that this ACTION will seep into my own maternal heart with each outward jester I make. Mothers are born to serve. And that is a calling that comes with a heaviness and an unfathomable reward. I am proud to be a mother…. and I am blessed to be amongst a community of Women who are also MOTHERS! What a privilege to be in a community to help blossom and grow one another! Who is a mother in your social sphere that you can build up and regard her title with RESPECT in an OUTWARD action? Watch the domino effect this will make!

 

A Mother’s Crown

A mothers eyes…. And the wrinkles beside them….

Revealing her choice and privilege

She is the one that stays back and focuses on bath times and reading baby books,

Stays back to clean and cook and discipline….

Often unseen…. Often not heard..

The wrinkles around her eyes….are the testament of her story

They are the stories of her denying herself repeatedly throughout each and everyday…

The wrinkles are reminders of her sacrifice which she does with pleasure for the family she would gladly die for…

Her wrinkles are the sweet reward for being the back bone, for being her husbands help mate, for choosing her family over herself….time and time again.

The wrinkles are her crown for the hard work of her hands and the throne for her humility….

From countless smiles… From laughter that came strait from her soul…. A type of joy only a mother would know.

The wrinkles that meet her every time she looks in the mirror….

They are her privilege to showcase…. Each line precious and dear…

Each crevice the evidence of serving her family…. Each line a reminder…. That Love is choosing all others before herself…. The reason she was created…

The wrinkles around mothers eyes…. Reveal the joy in her servants heart…. They are her reward….Above all they are her crown.

Philippians 4:4-8  “ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

 

Have Grit Sweet Ones,
