Motherhood - A Painful Privilege

Motherhood is a painful privilege. As we watch our babies grow into adults, they have growing pains of their own to endure and we must watch them go through them all. They must live through challenging developmental stages, tempting peer pressures, learning to love others and themselves, experience rejection, and deal with countless hurts and pains of life. On top of all this, they have to deal with a loving Mother watching over them like a hawk waiting to discipline and correct every wrong move they make! Once a Mother is finished teaching, instructing, encouraging, and loving her child, she must let him go - into a world full of more challenges, hurts, joys, and pains. Motherhood is an awesome privilege, yet painful indeed!
