Encouraging moms

Just had a few thoughts on mind about this I wanted to share . I think it came because i have just recently received a few negative words again concerning my parenting. It hurts when it happens.

I'm thinking come on can't you find a whole lot of things to compliment me on, or encouraging or up-lift? What about all the many things I do right? Why the few little things i fail in?
Why is that our short comings and faults are so easy for others to see? And why do they with out fail feel its their place to tell us?

So instead I think us moms need a whole lot more encouragement!!! A whole lot more pointing out all the areas that we are good in, and maybe that encouragement will flow over into the areas we are not. A whole lot more uplifting!! And i guess a tactful way to say the things we may not always want to hear.

We all got very full plates, and wear many hats. We may be stay-at-homes, but we are teachers, chefs, house keepers, keeping a well stocked pantry, coaches, secretaries, disciplinaries, and of course still a mom and a wife. We are stretched very thin at times. No wonder there may be an area that we are weak or low in. ( I believe we do need to be careful though that we do not over stretch our selves unnecessarily or add unneeded things to our plate)

So we need the encouragement and best of all the prayers of others to keep us going strong and flourishing as mom! We moms need to encourage and compliment each other.

And let us not forget our own moms! Now that we are a mom ourselves its easier to see all that she did for us! And also why she did what she did , and why she had the rules she did and so on. She needs our thanks, and our words," Well done mom" ," I am proud of what you did for me".
I challenge you to give encouraging words and compliments to a fellow mom this week. She will be happy for it!
