“When God thought of mother, He must have laughed with satisfaction, and framed it quickly - so rich, so deep, so divine, so full of soul, power, and beauty,was the conception.” - Henry Ward Beecher

The most important human being in everyone’s life is a Mother. Her love is incomparable with anything in this world. She sacrifices everything for her children’s happiness. The sovereignty of God in our lives is the first indication of none other than a Mother. She is the leader who makes us confident and teaches us to believe in ourselves. Who always protects us from every danger and obstacle in our lives. She puts strength inside us and helps us grow healthy, strong, and unbeatable. To make trust and firm footing of affectionate intimacy in our lives, mothers’ love needs to give unconditionally, and a mother perfectly does this job without any hesitation. She is a vixen, a battler, a resilient; she is none other than a mother. Mothers are a gift from God. Motherhood is part of God’s original design for humans to carry out God’s purposes in the world. God made mothers display God’s. God created Mothers because He could not be present everywhere. No child should ever feel that they need to earn their mother’s love. The love of children with their mothers begins in the mother’s womb. This is called pulse bonding. It will leave a void in their hearts all their lives.
If love is not forbidden, a child will sometimes find it in a million ways in their lifetime unless they are at peace with their past. The sensitive foundation we give our children at home is the basis of their lives. We cannot reduce the value of the house and the power of mother’s love. No one can replace a Mother’s place in this world. She is our protector; she protects us from every devil’s power. A disciplinarian, she knows how to make her children disciplined. A best friend with whom her children can share every possible thing. A mother who is selfless, loving and caring. A giver who gives everything in her life to make her children good human beings. A mother who ensures her child is competent with abilities, knowledge, and skills to make her child strong enough to fight every battle. God made mothers to make the world a better place. Becoming a mom is something that all mothers worship for the rest of their lives. So much love, admiration, and affection are poured into a new baby. Her world revolves around kids. First, each mother plays a very responsible and sensitive role in the family.
The mother’s role in the child’s upbringing is vital. Mothers play a huge role in determining a child’s attitude. It is up to the mother to decide whether a child will be good or bad. As a child grows up, he begins to take on the moral values taught by their mother, which plays a massive role for each child. We often remember the values taught by mothers until old age. Thus, the mother’s contribution to the well-being of society is unconditional. From birth, mother’s contribution to the well-being of society is unconditional.
From birth, mothers share a deep connection with their children. This connection never matched anyone else’s. Even the fathers needed to establish such an understanding. The origin of this connection originated in childhood. Most importantly, a mother can understand the issue of her child without any communication. It indeed develops a strong emotional connection between a mother and a child. A mother seems to know when a child feels hungry. Mother’s lap is the safest place for a baby. Where there is no fear, unsafe does not take place.
There is a proverb, “The wild is beautiful in the forest; the children are in the mother’s lap.” Mother is the main vertebrate of each family. They support everyone's feelings, hardships, emotions, and sorrows, and family members can express their emotions to mothers without worry. Each child can share any secrets with their mother. This is because mothers have a considerable level of confidence in their families. Furthermore, mothers have a very forgiving nature. The mother always wishes for the child's welfare, and her blessings are always there for her child.No matter how wrong the child is. Mothers are precious gifts from God. Without a mother, life would have been dark and full of sadness.Most noteworthy, a Mother's heart is made of gold. A few words of acknowledgment would fill her heart with happiness. The smile on the child's face eliminates the mother's fatigue all day. There are several ways of doing so. A Mother is a gem in everyone's life. She is the ultimate source of happiness for a child. Her contributions are certainly too significant to imagine. Above all, her love is pure and innocent. Finding a Mother who does not love is an impossible task.
The word "mother" comes with so much meaning. It's used worldwide to describe women who have co-created life and walk alongside their children to shepherd their hearts. Mother implies connection; it speaks of biology and describes those who have mothered through adoption and more. Being a mother to someone means having an irreplaceable role in another person's life. Biological mothers, first mothers, foster moms, step-moms, adoptive moms - they all matter more than anything to the children who are entrusted with to care for. Mothering is a special gift, a huge responsibility, and something God ordained from the start of human history.
Mothering does not come without trials, worries, struggles, and failures. It's not an easy job to find the best way to love a unique, fearfully, and wonderfully made person, let alone several of them! To do this job, they have to give away their whole hearts to a person whose fate they can't control. Mothers lay down their bodies, give up their sleep, cry many tears, pray so many prayers, and hope daily that God writes a good story for their kids. Sometimes they hope this despite their own failings. They all have to let go when they are afraid. They must encourage when they don't know what the future holds. They have to tame their tempers and learn to live what they want them to be.
In a world that wants to diminish the value of mothering, that wants to divide them between those that do it "right" and "wrong," and that fails to honour their so many sacrifices, they must take the time to remind our own mothers why they are such a gift to us. Even in our imperfection, we have given something to make our lives possible. We all have a mother and need her to be one.
“A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.” - Cardinal Mermillod
