When you consider the job description of mothering, it is truly astonishing:

A mother is the family chauffeur, gardener, family counselor, teacher, pediatrician, entertainer, maintenance worker, cleaning woman, housekeeper, cook, errand runner, bookkeeper/budget manager, interior decorator, caterer, dietitian, secretary, public relations person, and hostess.

Being a mother is definitely challenging. In fact, at times, it can be overwhelming. Here are some challenges that mothers face:

1) Low self-esteem

2) Monotony and loneliness

3) Stress from too many demands

4) Lack of time with her husband

5) Confusion about child discipline

6) Maintaining a peaceful home atmosphere

7) Need for outside role models

8) The daily challenging of training up children

(From And Then I Had Children, Susan A. Yates)

In light of these challenges, what does a mother really need? What does you mother really need? Obviously, she your needs your respect, your love and your appreciation. But there is something a mother needs even more than these. Since God created women and motherhood, let’s turn to Ephesians 5 and find out what God says mothers need most. (2001)

May God bless you through this message!
