Mothering is a beautiful topic that I find very interesting to read, hear and think about. When it comes to parenting children the world has a lot to say to us. The time and place where we live, our culture, tends to shape the way we think and how we approach motherhood. It is hard to escape this, but we must! Because we must understand and act upon the way God views children and mothering. God's word is clear on the subject; therefore we must become students of the word.
It is clear that God wants us to love our children tenderly and truly enjoy being moms. By loving, or enjoying our children we honor the word of God, we are glorifying Him.
In thinking about this I began to wonder why it seems hard to sustain this joy, this love. This is my feeble attempt at zeroing in on a few of the major joy killers in the life of a mommy and then how to fight for the joy God intended.
It seems to me in my life anyway that there are 4 biggies:
1. We do not meditate deeply on the love of God.
2. We allow our culture to give us our view of children rather than the word of God.
3. We neglect to raise them for God His way.
4. Pride.
