Mama made the difference.

Next to God’s love, a mother’s love for her children is perhaps the strongest, most beautiful love on earth.

When no one is looking, no one is hearing or paying attention, she’s on her knees praying for her children. Gut wrenching moans when they’re sick, sleepless nights when they’re not sleeping.

Mothers lessons

A mother’s lessons are the building blocks of character. She birth potential and mold greatness. Her influence shapes the world as she instructs and nurture her children and others, who grow up to acquire life-changing, history making accomplishments. We need to pay tribute to mother’s, grandmothers, aunts and all women who raised children.

Multitasker

A mother’s work is never done, she is the only person in this whole wide world that has the most profession and the only under paid person. Her profession is diversified. She is first a mother, a doctor, a lawyer, judge, teacher, coach, nurse day and night, cleaner, her home is a hospital too numerous to mention.

Being a peace maker

I remember while living in Bamboo Village in La Romain, one of my son ran inside,“Mammy, mammy, look Sheldon and Bibbi fighting. I dropped what I was doing and ran outside to inquire what was going.First, I had to calm them down then I took them inside, I gave them water. Ok, tell me what caused the fight. I had to make them talk one at a time, when they were finished I made them apologize to each other and shake hands.
You see, we’re our brothers keeper and we have to look out for each other. We’re neighbors, I can look through my window and see your home vise-versa. We fellowship in the same Assembly, most of the time we sit side by side.

Mama taught us to believe in God

Of all the lessons I would learn from mama, the most important is faith and trusting God. This she did with words, she did with action, with love, privately, publicly, with her eyes. She taught me when she knew I was watching her, she taught me more powerfully on those rare occasion when she wasn’t aware of my watchful eyes. I count this as one oh her greatest because so much of life focuses on the power of belief, love and trust.Ok what about you, Isn’t peace a great spiritual force? you may ask. Yes, peace certainly has power of it’s own but if you don’t believe in peace it will never come.So much in our lives begins with believing in peace, love, growth, change, destiny - and I’m so thankful my mother always taught me to believe in myself.

Learn to like yourself

We always have areas in our lives that we’re not satisfied with, but I value the fact that mama taught me to believe in myself no matter what. That brings selfesteemand selfconfidencein your life

I was always chubby growing up and my friends would make fun of me and laugh, I would hear my mama’s voice encouraging me: you’re handsome, you’re intelligent, there’s no one like you.

Learning to love yourself is the greatest gift. One of the greatest ways we can improve our self image is to have confidence in our self. Words are like seeds, they have creative power, we’ll eat the fruit there of. Our words tend to produce what we say.

Power of Words

My mother was a nurse by profession, but she was our teacher, she taught us the life changing impact the language can have on our lives. Probably like your mother, my mother would correct my speech when I use the wrong verb or slipped into the forbidden ain’t.Proceeding the correction I replied,”Mama, I know to speak properly but is just I don’t want to feel I’m always in English class when I talk to you. She looked at me with one of her looks where she raised one of her eye brow and said:“Words are important, so requisite that you need to handle them with great care, whenever you speak, write or read.Words have indeed shaped my life as well as my life’s calling.

As a Mother

We need to know we have the power to change. Our children will nurse at the breast of our wisdom and draw it out through your conversation. Make sure it is free from contamination like bitterness, envy, pettiness or vulgarity. When you clean your speech you have partially cleaned up your act. Remembering one dosen’t have to use profane language to curse someone.Mother’s who say to their children:“You’ll never amount to anything “ or “You’ll be ignorant like your father,”“Are you speaking words that are curses”.Be careful what you say to your children, remember they’re humans just like us and they have feelings just like us.“Death and life, blessings and cursing is in the power of the tongue”. With the word of your mouth you can impart greatness, or smallnessin someone’s life. You can fan the flame of greatness or you can snuff it out.

“What are you saying to your children, are you encouraging them or putting them down”
