hug meTopic: Inspirational
I just wanted to tell all the mothers out there one thing: R-E-L-A-X . And i am telling this to myself first, and to you second. Life is too short with too many unknowns. Motherhood is so overwhelming, marriage is overwhelming, and life ebbs and flows with hardships.
But we can't live out our lives as if we have trees strapped on our backs, leaves covering our eyes, and rain drops freezing on our hearts.
There are little beings that call us 'Mama' that need our love and compassion. Don't forget to give compassion and mercy after discipline. Don't forget to hug them. Don't forget to tell them you love them.
We don't know it will be our time to leave this world. We don't know when our little ones will die, before us or after us. We don't know if disease will affect us or our husbands or our children or our parents. Yet we live as if there will always be tomorrow. As if we will always have our health. As if we will always have all our loved ones around us.
Please mothers, let us all wake up. Let us all just accept our lives as they are and be happy with what we have and take advantage of all our blessings. Be kind, be generous, be forgiving, as much as you are firm, strong, and smart.
Expect mistakes and accept all mistakes. Accept them as opportunities to learn and grow. We make mistakes, our husbands do, our parents do, and are children will naturally make much more.
Try to turn stressful times into fun times. It's all how you look at it and decide to deal with it. It's always up to you - you can start screaming or you can deal with it the correct way. But remember that there will always be an opportunity to fix things. Your mistakes are also opportunities for deep thinking and problem solving.
But most of all, i want you to remember how much your children and husband love you. Remember how beautiful their smiles are. Remember those times you made them laugh and how easy it was. Remember all the hugs and kisses that came when you least expected it. Remember how nice it feels to be touched. Remember them climbing on your back or sitting on your lap. Remember when they combed your hair, or brought you water. You see, it's these little things that matter. We can either feel them or keep our hearts frozen with despair and worry. And remember - there is always sunshine after a rainy day.
There is something i want to say after all this. I am very much in need of all your prayers. I cannot explain as there are too many blurkers here, forgive me. I belive in the power of prayer and i strongly believe that the more people you have pray for you the better it will be in some way shape or form, God willing.
