Guide to Parenting with Biblical Perspective

Being a mother is a 24/7 job. Since the beginning of time, being a mother has meant giving and giving and giving some more. Motherhood is all about sacrifice. Nowadays, being a mother also means you often give up the freedom you have as a true, separate individual. Although motherhood is rewarding and satisfying, it also tests your resourcefulness, patience, and intelligence, using every bit of strength, talent, and skill you have. Becoming a mother is one of the most challenging and life-changing experiences you will ever face. It is both rewarding and stressful. Its rewards are many, and its stress can be overwhelming. The happiest moments of your life will likely occur when you welcome your baby into the world. They are tiny rewards compared with the thousands of lasting, enriching, and fulfilling rewards of a lifetime of mothering.
