The way you change after having kids is one of the great cliches that is a cliche because it's so absolutely true.

You don't truly know what it feels like until you have children. You can't. It's impossible. No one can explain the love and responsibility you feel towards them. No one else can worry you like your own child. No one can make you feel that same kind of love and joy. It's a wholly unique feeling that, I think, is one of the greatest experiences of being human.

I'm sad that everyone, especially those who actually have children, don't always feel that way.

I try to always tell the kiddos how much I miss them when we are apart… it’s guy retreat weekend for my two youngest at church. I’ll miss them. But I’m also happy that they are going to be learning more about God’s Word and be with their Christian bros… 💖

Btw, homeschool… 😁👍🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you! Omgosh my daughter loves seeing other millennials talk about how their 3 yr old is an a**hole. I was horrified! She didn't get that from me. I didn't have kids until I was ready and 26. I thought about everything I did and how it would affect them. Kids today don't see their children as the blessings they are!

What women set apart need is to be taught more than anything after knowing who they are in Christ Jesus and what He has done for them.

Is Godly & biblical womanhood and be reminded about it often. In our feminist, and very depraved culture, our sisters need the truth of who God made them to be on a consistent basis.

That their children are a huge blessing and privilege from our father in Heaven, we who have been gifted with them are stewards alongside Gods guardianship over them as they ultimately belong to Him. Psalm 127 :3Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,

the fruit of the womb a reward.

4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior

are the children of one's youth.

5 Blessed is the man

who fills his quiver with them!

He shall not be put to shame

when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Mature sisters are to encourage the younger sisters to love and submit to their husbands, be good workers at home and loving their children as ideally stay at home mamma's. Teaching their daughters and sons necessary important life skills like cleaning, tidying cooking, baking, sewing, true education of history the world etc inclusive of inculcating them in the ways of the Lord.

"The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."

Titus 2:3-5

Encouraging our sisters in their God given roles, as wives and mothers.

Some may complain that being home full time is monotonous; it's the same thing every day.

Yet what job in the workforce isn't monotonous and doing the same thing every day? In your home, you are raising children with eternal souls who are made in the image of God. That it is such an incredible privilege and there is no more important work than this!

Equally encouraging both married sisters and mothers & also those who have been gifted with singleness to the Lord to fulfill their God given role to Him in all chasteness modesty and with a quiet mild contented at peace spirit.
