What's a Mom?

 

 

 

Reprint from 2016 article. Still applicable.
Makes me miss my mom more.
I dedicate this page to my mom, who showed me how to be a mom. 
I don't know how you ever did it!

If you doubt one person could do all that, doubt no longer,
The person who can do all that must be pretty special.
You’re right.
She is.
She’s a Mom.

Amen! Mother's are the ones who hold the family together, day by day by day. When we moved up here I remember saying that for Steve the move was from A to Z, for me it was A, B, C, D until I finally reached Z, taking care of every little detail along the way. I recently read that women's brains are wired to multi-task, which is obvious in our family!, and men's brains are more focused. Both are needed and that's why God created men and women different. Thanks for a great article.

I write about what matters...to you---
women, wives and moms---
about your family, faith and future.
I write about what's hard, what helps and what heals.
I show you how it's done. And not done.
I hold your hand as you find what matters to the Savior.
And let go of those things that mattered to you, but not to Him.
I write about what matters...to Him.
