"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children…What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply." - Elder M. Russell Ballard
My mother has always been a source of strength and love in my life, especially in difficult times. Through all the challenges she has faced she continues to be a loving mother to more than just her children. I have learned so much from my mother, so in celebration of Mother's Day, the 8th of May, I have decided to share 8 big lessons I have learned from my mother.
SPIRITUAL LIFE
#1. Always put God at the centre of everything - you will always have a reason to celebrate
#2. Read your Bible and go to church - you will always be on the right path
RELATIONSHIPS
#3. Always leave room for disappointment in your heart (just in case)
#4. Don’t just date for the sake of dating - there's nothing wrong with waiting for the right man
MARRIAGE
#5. Always treat your husband like a king - take care of him & he will do the same
#6. Compromise! Compromise! Compromise - it works
SELF-BELIEF
#7. Do your best and God will handle the rest - the greatness is within you
#8. You have everything it takes to be the best – believe in yourself
I would like to thank God Almighty for keeping and blessing my mother! Here's to many more years of bliss and motherhood!
Love,
Ofentse
