Ever had that kind of day where kids won’t stop crying and you just want to crawl back into bed, throw the covers over your head, and press an imaginary button on your alarm clock that says, “Turn back time”?
Motherhood is under a holocaust. There is a real life, in your face assault against parenthood going on. It is underway every day, in every nation, in every city…but we just don’t see it.
It hides in the shopping commercials, the ads luring us to travel to exotic places; it creeps in through “the good life” promises, and derogatory statements on social media.
I mean, haven’t we all heard someone downplay motherhood, saying, “I am just a mom.”
But friends, this, motherhood-is-a-waisted-life theory is a lie, tempting to deceitfully derail us. It says, “Someone else’s life is better”, or “parenting has no joy or no fulfillment.”
Statistics today report…

You have been gifted with sight to see what often goes missed and express the meaningful in such a refreshing way. Love that you write from your own choice to mother the motherless no matter the length of the stay. Thanks for taking the time to compose your thoughts. A treasure to always read.
Anna – Can’t tell you the timing or how needed your comment was today! Thank you Anna!!
Jen, your example of mothering so many people is inspiring. And yes, there is a concerted effort by the enemy of our souls to thwart the call of nurturing and mending and consoling and loving with a mother’s heart. And it doesn’t stop when our children are grown up. We must never listen to the lie that what we do is unimportant – it’s not a job, it’s a calling and a ministry.
May God show us how to love better and more fully. May we always spread the perfect way He loves us.
GOD BLESS!
