Someone on my friends' list asked if being a Mother was a profession or not. She asked for people to post their ideas on the matter. Of course, I posted my thoughts which reads as follows:
It's not a profession, it's a "God-Calling" for a woman's life. He made us to be help-meets for our husbands and to be the bearer of children. We are wondrously made by the Heavenly Father to have that built-in "nurturing nature" to protect, love, teach and kiss all the little boo-boos as we rear our children for HIS sake. No, not a profession, but a wonderful, bless-ed CALLING!! I praise HIS name for allowing me to be the Mother of my beautiful daughter and Gan-Gan to my beautiful grand daughter. I DO consider having been a wife and being a Mother and now a Gan-Gan, the highest calling that I could have ever had. I love my daughter and grand daughter and I thank the Lord that HE saw fit to CALL me to the task. Those are my thoughts on the matter ~ not a profession, but the utmost calling for a woman. "Her children rise up and call her blessed ." Until We Meet Again...
