“All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual, and physical education I received from her.”–George Washington.
“My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live for, someone I must not disappoint.”–Thomas Alva Edison
“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angle Mother.”–Abraham Lincoln
Being a mother is such an important and rewarding job.
But so many women in today’s culture view the role of motherhood and homemaking to be degrading and old fashion.
Women are supposed to advance themselves and climb to corporate ladder. They are told that becoming a mother is something that will hold them back from their true potential.
But God created women for the role of motherhood.
Women were created with a relational bent and with the ability to nurture others well. We were created to be life bearers. Our bodies were designed differently than man’s to take on this special job.
God valued the role of motherhood and homemaking from the very start.
Modern women need to start valuing the role of motherhood instead of brushing it aside. Being a mother is such a unique purpose that God created us for. And we need to start embracing it.
Being a mother does not come natural to some women. But that doesn’t mean being a mother is not in God’s plan for you.
Someone once said, “Successful mothers are not the ones who have never struggled. They are the ones who never give up, despite the struggles.”
If you are weary about eventually stepping into the role of motherhood, you don’t have to be. God will help you make that transition. He will always be there to guide you, even if you fail once and a while (Isaiah 41:10).
Being a mother may not be in God’s plan for your life. And that’s okay.
But having a heart that values the role of motherhood is something that all women should have.
If God values the role of motherhood and homemaking so much, so should we. Replace the lies that the world gives out and believe in the great and beautiful purpose the Lord created you for.
In His amazing love,

In what ways can you show that you value the role of motherhood and homemaking? I would love to hear your thoughts below!
I’ve been a mother for 20+ years. I was raised in a generation where there were more SAHMs. I’m not sure that being a SAHM always equates to valuing a special purpose.
Reading your about page, it seems you have not reached the motherhood stage of life. Don’t make broad pronouncements without knowing individual circumstances.
Thank you for your input on this subject.
How do you know that modern women don’t value motherhood? All mothers are homemakers whether they stay at home or not. Many women work outside the home out of necessity.
Only some women are attempting to climb the corporate ladder, surely you don’t see this as the sum total of women who work?
I understand your point and totally agree. Some women do work outside of the home, and there is nothing wrong with that. I was saying that many woman today don’t take time to value the special purpose God created them for. I know that all women are not that way. Thank you for your feedback!
