Motherhood: The Divine Role

What is motherhood? For most people, motherhood is when a woman becomes a mother after she gives birth to her child. It sounds right, but there's more than becoming a mother after a child is born. Motherhood is a divine role that women have in this world who have children. Several roles of a mother: 1) Protect and nurture her children, 2) Help them grow, 3) Teach them what is right and what is wrong, 4) Love her children more than anything else, 5) Comfort them in times of trouble, 6) Treat them like princes and princesses, 7) Love her husband as much as her children and 8) Love and serve the Lord.

Since my sisters and I were born, our Mom has always been there for us because she loves us and wants what's best for us. When she was carrying each one of us at a time, she grew close to us. That is when and how she started calling every one of us 'her little angels.' 

Mom taught us to love and serve one another by smiling and helping other people in their hard times. She also taught us to love each other in the family.

She spared her time with us when we needed help with homework or anything that is challenging for us to live with.

She showed us how to be good examples among those around us, especially our friends. And how to identify what example we should follow.

Mom has always been our cheerleader. She would cheer us on to keep working hard in school and other goals that we plan to achieve. Whenever we felt like giving up, she never told us to quit trying. She told us to keep going.

Since Mom has always been a great cook in our family, we were influenced to become like her: cooking for our families. Especially when we have to deal with the foods that make things hard for our eyes to endure.

Because Mom loves us for who we are, she taught us to look pretty to show others our inner beauty and the extraordinary women we are.

We were taught by our mother to have a strong desire to go to the temple to do baptisms for the dead, and have our weddings in there when we would be ready to be sealed to our worthy and lucky husbands for time and eternity.

Of all the heroes that we have in our lives, Mom is one of them. Why? She has been a good mother to us all since we were born. We are all influenced to become like her so that we can influence our daughters to become the righteous mothers they need to be.

Because of her love for her family, her commitment to the Church and her marriage, her good example and her strong testimony, Mom has kept this family together.

Mom,

Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to be like you, a good mother to my children and a faithful wife to my husband. Despite the times when we've had arguments or disagreements, or any other hard times, we're thankful that you're our mom. We don't know what we would've done without you. Thank you for being our mom! We will always love you more than a million billion shiny stars.

Love, Caela
