God Made Moms To Teach Their Children...They Are Beautiful And Smart

A few weeks ago I wrote on the importance of nurturing and building up our children through our words, I have also written about beauty being in the eye of the beholder. Well while reading the book selection of the month these words came across a page, questions we should consider asking ourselves on a regular basis. Questions that may help us in our roles as mothers.

Why do we remember the words of our mother more than any other? Why does a mother's assessment of her daughter resonate in the chambers of that daughters heart like the Ten Commandments? Like the laws of gravity? Like a destiny that
you simply cannot escape?

So tell me why do mothers have so much influence, so much power over their daughters and over their children? Is it just because they carried them for nine months? Or is it because they are just pieces of their mothers? Something to ponder on, uh? Mothers are and always have been very influential in their children's lives. So that's why it's important for us to tell our children that they are beautiful, that they are smart, that they can achieve and be anything or anyone they want to be. We are the ones to encourage them to reach for the stars, to see beyond what their eyes can see. We are the ones whose words they remember. So with this much influence over another being, why wouldn't we choose our words wisely? We are planting seeds that will dwell with our children for life. Show them and tell them they are beautiful to you because every child should be beautiful in a mother's eye.

Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice.~Delphine
