Being a “MOTHER”

 

Yesterday, we’ve had the opportunity to share very inspiring thoughts imparted by some lovely mothers from different walks of life.  We were empowered and amazed by their heartfelt words;  and we promised to give you more…

Let us listen once again from these God-sent angels whom we call “MOTHER…”

Being a mother is the hardest and most rewarding duty you can ever accomplish as a woman.          The love for your child is unconditional, pure and selfless. You don’t think about yourself anymore, it’s all about your children. You sacrifice things for your children. Being a mother does not stop when your kids are adults. From their very first step, their first prom, and the time that they too will become a parent…you’re there with a big smile and excitement. You are their biggest cheerleader. I may be the silliest and most exaggerated at times. I get teary eyed when I’m proud, I will not sleep or rest till all my kids are home, and I worry all the time.

There were no instructions on ‘being a mother’, you learn throughout the way, you learn it from each other. For every boo-boos, cries, giggles and disappointments… mom will always be there.

“Being a mother to me is a life of lasting LOVE and SACRIFICE. Only the mother knows what she can do for her children. And what children do not know, perhaps, is that “a mother identifies herself with them”. Hers also is their success or failure. Hers is their pains and joys. And the feeling doesn’t stop regardless of their age and status. It stops after her last breath. Motherhood is the best thing God has created on earth. It is the highest manifestation of His love on earth.

For me, being a mother of three kids is a very wonderful and achieving moment in my life. I always make sure that my kids are in the right path, with unconditional love.

My son always ask me, ” How much do you love me, Ma ?” And I said, ” I love you once, i love you twice. I love you more than beans and rice.” And he got a smile on his face.

Being a mother made me realized how much more I didn’t know…

That you can get by without combing your hair all day;
A bag of chips or a bar of chocolate is a good trade for 15 minutes of silence;
6 hours of sleep is a luxury!
Eating spaghetti and fried chicken 5 times a week isn’t as bad as one would think;
Watching the same episode of Mickey Mouse clubhouse 3 times in a row can still be fun;
And losing your mind is something to be proud of.

I don’t think there is such a thing as too hard or too far when it is for my kids. It’s mind boggling to think how much strength one can get from such little creatures.

Being a mother is essentially immeasurable.  I want to be there by the time my children wake up in the morning, up to the minute they recite their evening prayers… and a thousand more in between… everyday.  It’s a lifetime commitment to provide an utmost unconditional love.

For me, being a mother is the most challenging role one can fill yet it’s the most wonderful and most fulfilling role that a woman can have.  To nurture a life so delicate and to bring up a child in the fear of the Lord is not an easy task, but it’s a humbling experience every time.  For me, it’s just pure joy to be a mom.

For me, being a mom is the fulfillment of my existence.  Motherhood gives me reason to love life more, and to appreciate every little aspect of life.  Since I became a mom, every single minute of life is golden.  I thank God for giving me the most wonderful gift… my everything, my Renzo.

Defining “Motherhood” is actually, virtually endless.  For me, the happiest, most fulfilling moment of my life is the moment that I saw my daughter after giving birth.  Being a mother is being “prepared”… prepared, physically, emotionally and mentally, because motherhood for me is about sacrifice.  For example, there are times that you must sacrifice your ‘wants and needs’ for your child’s ‘wants and needs’.  There is so much to say about being a mother, but the most important for me is that a mother must be a protector, teacher, disciplinarian, who gives unconditional love to her child.  I am not a perfect mom, but every day is a challenge for me to become a good Mother, a role model, and most especially, a friend.

A mother should be a lighting guide to her children… a guide, not a dictator. I let my daughter grow, and have her own decisions but I’m always there to guide her on the right path, because I believe that the best lessons are learned through experience.

Being a mother is expecting many changes like a new baby… a new body, less sleeping time, and less free-time. But becoming a mother is a wonderful, exhilarating experience. Raising children brings new meaning to every moment of our lives, and depth to our experiences as a human being. It also requires a revolutionary change, not only in the way we live our day-to-day life, but it alters our very identity as a person.

Becoming a mother is the most beautiful and joyful thing that ever happened to me. It adds more meaning to my life by inspiring me to do things I would never have done if I was not the mother of my children.  If I where to live all over again, I would still want to become a mother to these three beautiful kids!

Being a mother is one of the most fulfilling experiences a girl can have. It is indeed the highest paid job in the world because you will have multiple professions to perform. You will have to be a nurse, a professor, a chef, an entertainer, an accountant, a nutritionist, a security, a caregiver, and a fan for most of the time, as your child grows. Being a mother is one of the most important things that happened to me which I will never ever regret. I will always be proud to be a mother to my precious little girl, and to my little boy who will be seeing the world so soon.

Mommy Christine with Caleb Marvin and Alaina Eve Advincula, CA,USA

To me, being a mother simply means being a servant.  It is not by being a slave, but by serving with a willing heart.  You give all that you can, and all that you are to your children.  It is a selfless act. Being a mother doesn’t just make you the first teacher of your kids, it is YOU who will learn from them. Being a mother means ‘fearless love’.  You protect your children will all your might.  Being a mother also means being a child.  When the weight upon your shoulder is too heavy and you cannot carry on, you can become a child once again by running to God…leaving all the burdens to Him, and He will exchange it with peace… because a mother will never be a mother, unless she is empowered by God.

Being a mother to my daughter is a daily decision.  There are days when I pass with flying colors, and there are days when I fail miserably.  But one thing’s for sure… without the grace of God, I cannot do it on my own.

Being a mother means giving up anything and everything for your child. For others, it’s called sacrifice but for mothers, it’s called love.  When I was still single there are things that I couldn’t give up. But the moment I learned that I was pregnant, I gave them up instantly because I want the best for my daughter.

Being a mother is a gift from God and a great privilege given to some. Being entrusted to carry life for 9 months and to care for a child for the rest of your life means that God has loved you so much to entrust you this much responsibility, so this love must radiate to everyone especially to your kids.

Being a mother is an extraordinary and priceless job; it has no boundaries, no limitations, no endings. A mother is an instrument of human life who nurtures undying love, understanding and care. She is always there to protect you, to guide you, to carry you, to lift you and standby you no matter when, no matter what. She is always ready to conquer everything and offer you the best in life. Being a mother signifies the power of bringing out the best in her child. And most of all, being a mother completes the meaning of being a woman….

Motherhood is a tough 24/7 job. The difficulty of conception, the pain that you have to endure during labor and childbirth, these will all vanish once you have in your arms that “little-one” who you’ve carried in your womb for 9 months.

Being a mother means giving yourself, your “wholeness” for the welfare of your beloved children

Para sa akin ang pagiging isang Ina ay isang propesyon, isang trabaho na dapat gampanan sa araw araw, kinakailangan nito ng mga iba’t-ibang sangkap tulad ng pagsasakripisyo, pagmamahal at pangangalaga sa buong pamilya. Kinakailangan na palaging maging matatag at malakas ang loob ng isang ina dahil sa kanya lamang kumukuha ng lakas at tapang ang kanyang mga anak, kahit ang kanyang kabiyak. Kailangan na maging isang mabuting huwaran kami pra sa aming mga anak. Bukod dun, ang pagiging isang Ina ay hindi makukumpleto kung hindi siya marunong lumapit, tumawag at magpasalamat sa Poong Maykapal.

Being a mother is giving unconditional love to your children. Yan ang ibinigay sa akin ng nanay ko at yan din ang ibibigay ko kay Kid. Mahirap maging isang ina, lalo na kung single-parent na katulad ko, pero dahil mahal ko ang anak ko, lahat ay kakayanin ko para kay Kid.

Being A mother is being selfless, a person who sacrifices many of their wants and needs for the wants and needs of their children.  A mother works hard to make sure their child is equipped with the knowledge, skills and abilities to make it as a competent human being.  Being a mother is perhaps the hardest, most rewarding job a woman will ever experience…

To my kids, hope you understand why mommy chose to work here in Singapore… I want to be with you guys every moment of your life.. I want to watch how all of you grows… But the most important to me is your FUTURE!  Konting tiis Lang.. Mommy loves you!

For me, being a mother is probably the hardest underpaid job anyone can ever do. It’s hard, I’m not going to lie.  It takes a lot of patience and sacrifices.  I laughed, I cried, I even scared my pants off. And there were times when I asked myself “what did I get myself into?” But, no matter how hard and tiring it is, it’s all worth it. You will never know how much love a person could give until you become a mother.  I’ve been through a lot.  I did a lot of crazy regretful things.  There’s so much in my life that I wish I can go back and change. But, having children, being a mother is the one and only thing I will never ever give up.
So, when people ask me how do I do it?  I do it with love….That’s how.

MOTHERHOOD is a learning process. Mothers learn from their kids too. They teach us how to be patient and how to give unconditional love.  As a mother, I’m not always 100% sure that I am making the right decisions all the time, but the faith and courage I have, has helped me become stronger, especially during trials. Children teach us to continue experiencing new things. We need to remain like a child at heart, and not lose the innate curiosity, inquisitiveness and passion we once had. Being a mother is the hardest yet most fulfilling job… to learn the true meaning of life, joy, and to learn to be selfless.

 ——————

We are grateful that our Almighty Father has given us the privilege to meet these wonderful mommies, who have not only been an inspiration to their children but to people around them as well.  We honor this day for having received one of life’s wonderful blessings… a mother.

And from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for making this world a better place.

Happy Mothers’ Day!
