I am now 60 years old. I have 3 wonderful children. Everyday is Mother's Day to me. I don't want gifts. I just want to know that my children love the Lord, love their families, and love each other. I am so honored and blessed to have such great kids. Are we perfect? No. We still make mistakes. We acknowledge we are imperfect beings. I am at a season in my life, and have been for a while now, that material gifts are just not as important to me. Also, I have been on my decluttering journey for just over a year now and so "things" are not as important. So for you young mom's out there feeling so overwhelmed...hang in there. Try to remember that your "gift" is those beautiful people you have been chosen to raise and love. You are doing an amazing job. Even if no one else sees your struggle, your needs, the desires in your heart, God does and He will bless you. Just trust the process.

@anniefenter8697 Жыл бұрын

Perfectly said. I am turning 60 this year. Knowing that your child loves the Lord is a gift everyday. Keep God in all things as you are raising them and pray for them. The years really do go by quickly and they are looking/listening to you as their Mom/example.

Yes! Perfectly said! I'm 57 yrs old and feel the same way. One thing that doesn't cost a penny but is worth more than any purchase is to tell your mom "you taught me______and ______.I'm so Thankful that God gave me you as a mom." That statement would leave me crying because all mom's try their very best. We are not perfect but we love our adult kids as much as our adult kids love their own children (our grandchildren.)❤

Stay at Home Homeschooling Mom of 7 (ages 2-19). Several years ago, I decided to take Mother’s Day into my own hands, and I have never looked back. I schedule my own spa day, I go get a pedicure, I grab lunch, I go get an iced coffee and maybe head to Target. I leave the house for the whole day and I don’t feel any guilt. I plan my own special day and I don’t bother my husband or the kids with any of the details. Sometimes that’s my only day off for the year and I need it for my sanity.

Charis, I understand. I was a SAHM to four and had three in diapers at once. The world tells you how you should soak n these moments and revel in them but it. Is. Hard. It is physically exhausting. Mentally taxing. Emotionally draining. The need need need is never ending. As soon as you clean up breakfast they need a snack. I just remember thinking “I want to use my brain for something beyond how long has it been since O changed a diaper or is it time to feed them again”. Yes you love cherish and adore your kids but being a SAHM is isolating and it drains everything in you. I remember calling my husband at work one day and he picked up even though he was just finishing a conversation with a coworker. They were both so light hearted. They were laughing. And I just started to cry. I was so lonely. I had no adult conversation. And my whole life was about what I could give. Yes your spouse is working to pay the bills but she/he has the luxury of 10 hours of uninterrupted thoughts. Uninterrupted work where he doesn’t have to play referee or solve a kid crisis. It’s a gift that he definitely gets that SAHM don’t. I’m here if you need an ear. ❤

If there are any moms out there who are not sure how to make new friends, I highly suggest the library! If you are able to attend any of the storytime activities consistently, you may find other SAHM who are also searching for friendships. It might take a while, but that is how I found other moms with kids the same age as mine.

Also, as soon as your kids start school, walk your child to school and volunteer in the classroom and you will meet other parents and make friends and playmates for your child. You can start walking for fun "the long way home"with other parents and other new opportunities to socialize.

Mom's need to say no more! No to activities that society says we need to do for our kids. Every little school thing, sport thing, extended family thing, even church things. Most activities are good but should never be put above your family. I am a Mom of 7 and my husband and I pulled kids out of activities and focused on slowing our life down about 10 years ago. The best thing we ever did for our family!

I love on young mamas every chance I get, pray over them, encourage them, take a meal, but I can do more. And some of these mama's are caregivers for their parents too! Thank you so much for this message. Some of these dear ones don't have their mama's to help out anymore. So many women hurting, widows, those estranged from family, the list goes on. I try to reach out to someone everday, a card in mail, text, phone call....something. On a lighter note........started buying my own birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day gifts years ago. I show it to my husband and say, "Look at this awesome, fill in the blank, you got me for, fill in the blank." He replies, "Great, I did good!" Just another way to make life easier :)

This is very timely, my granddaughter had her first child (after several years of not being able to carry a baby) little tiny Aubrey is in the NICU she was 2lbs 9 Oz four weeks ago and she now weighs 4lbs 7oz. My granddaughter spends her days at the hospital and stresses when she has to go home at night, her husband is such a blessing and so very sportive and spends the day with her he can do some work from the hospital or he is on the computer at night. We are trying to figure out how to best help them and right now it seems like meals are what they need. We are hoping little Aubrey will be home by Mothers Day🙏🏻 So this message truly hit home, thank you both.

I hope I have, and I think I have, helped and encouraged my friends and family. We truly do need community. Even tho I don’t have kids, you always speak to something I am going thru. You ARE a pastor. You teach me about biblical times and things I never thought or knew about as to what life was like then.

We've finally started attending a church consistently after a hiatus of about a decade, and I have been so hard on myself about interactions with so many new people. They are so gracious and kind but it has been hard at times, especially since I've worked from home since 2020. It has slowly gotten easier and felt better as the Lord has been simultaneously humbling and uplifting me, and you have been part of that continued comforting assurance today. Thank you both so much!

I’m glad I’ll be going to see her in a few days ( she lives 3 hours away : no family around them) to help & lift her up ! Once I know where she will settle, I’ll move to where that is. But itz not time yet. Meanwhile, current sitch is barely sustainable. But happily , baby girl is loved , suuuuper well cared for & thriving. I can’t wait to see them very soon! My son & his g/f are joining us , too ! I hear ya about us older Moms with grown kids helping Mons ! Indeed !! So needed !

Due to some physical limitations, I don't get to join corporate worship and that saddens me, but I do get to watch via zoom so that helps. I'm also part of a special prayer group that the Lord is using and I'm so blessed by that. Amen to your prayer. Lord, give both of these young moms your strength to carry on and to raise godly children. Help them to model Jesus and Father, bring someone into Diana's life that will take the children for a bit so she can have a nap. We all need refreshing at one time or another.

You two are so fortunate to have each other. If you don’t have a friend, you have each other. I love you ladies and your channels, I feel like I’m with a friend when I watch you!

Marty Grisham of Loudmouth Prayer says that prayer can be both taught and caught (especially when praying with people who are ahead of you in their walk with Jesus, or listening to their prayers). My prayer life, as well as boldness to pray when people can hear me, is improving as I listen to his teachings. Just putting that out there! This video was like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for sowing into me and so many women, ladies! God bless you!

We are currently living and I have went though the “oh I want to sell everything” phase to “okay I’ll just donate it” to now just throwing things in the trash and getting gritty every time I do because I don’t have to drive it anywhere! It’s gone it’s done!! We want a lot of kids and currently have a 3 year old and a 7 month old and I’m DONE with all this crap!! I can’t take it all to the next house. I want a fresh start and I cannot wait. Our extra time I want to get back to reading the Bible everyday to my kids like I had before this move if process. We will be homeschooling and I won’t be able to unless we go minimal and I do my clutterbug recommended organization. Please pray for me!! I really need the strength!!
