Mother knows best
For as long as I can remember, Mother’s have always had something to say about every crisis, every situation, every mistake and every spilled glass of milk…
- A little soap & water never killed anybody.
- Always wear clean underwear in case you get in an accident.
- Answer me when I ask you a question!
- Are you going out dressed like that?
- Are your hands broken? Pick it up yourself! I’m not your maid!
- As long as you live under my roof, you’ll do as I say.
- Beds are NOT made for jumping on.
- Call me when you get there, just so I know you’re okay.
- Close the door! You don’t live in a barn.
- Did you brush your teeth?
- Did you comb your hair?
- Do you think I’m made of money?
Not only do Mother’s have something to say about things, but they seemingly know what is best for their children…
- Don’t pick your nose in public.
- Don’t run in the house.
- Don’t sit too close to the television, it’ll ruin your eyes.
- Don’t talk with your mouth full!
- Don’t walk away when I’m talking to you!
- Eat your vegetables, they’re good for you.
- Don’t eat that, you’ll get worms!
- Don’t go out with a wet head, you’ll catch cold.
- Don’t make me get up!
- Don’t pick that scab, it’ll get infected.
Besides teaching children to eat healthy, to wash behind the ears and say please and thank you … one of the BEST things that a mother can teach her child is to love God with all of their heart.
PROVERBS 22:6 “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
Training up a child is more than saying … “Who taught you THAT? You didn’t learn that in this house!” … Train them up by living in front of them the rewards of loving God with all of YOUR heart. The best thing a mother can know is …trust Him for everything and do not lose faith over anything!
