Being A Mom

Ah...I was thinking back and reflect.

Being a Mom....
is a life-long job...
There is no quitting,  there is no turning back...
It last a lifetime...

If we work in an office, and if we don't like the job,
we can lodge  a resignation letter and voila, we are off the job.

But, not the case with my job of being a Mom...
The words below describes it best...

As quoted from "www.oureverydaythings.com":

Ah.

Raising children is not easy, isn’t it?

One thing I always remind myself though : God gave our children to US, so it is only natural that we the parents are the ones with the calling to PARENT our children.

ie. WE are the ones with the big responsibility to raise, guide and educate our children, according to God’s ways.

Helpers / nannies are not our children’s parents.

We are.

And here’s another thing: Parenting is never about paying for the children’s meals, school and tuitions.

It’s not about giving the best toys.

Nor is it about throwing the best birthday parties.

It’s about giving our TIME, our attention, and taking the initiatives to be actively involved in raising our children, since day one.

Yes, however hard and tough our parenting days can be.

…

May God help us all, and give us the patience, joy and wisdom we all need everyday, to be the kind of parents HE wants us to be.

Because, as we all know, parenting is never easy.
