To All the Mamas

To All the Mamas…

“I have heard it said that having a child is like having your heart walk around outside your body. How a mother aches to protect her child. And yet all the while, from infancy to adulthood, a good mother is training her child to move ever more away from her, to need her less and less. Mothers love and long for their children. Their hearts ache for them, over them. A woman bleeds when she gives birth, but that is only the beginning of the bleeding. A heart enlarged by all a mother endures with and through her child’s life, all a mother prays and works and hopes for on her child’s behalf bleeds too.

While our hearts drink deeply and rest in God’s good heart, he “mothers” us so that we continue to become ever more truly who he intends us and created us to be--the women we truly are. A woman who partners with God in bringing forth life in this damaged world---offering, loving, inviting others to become who they were meant to be---she is a mother indeed. She---like God---offers freedom and life.”
