    I was never in a position to be a mother. It saddened me for many years, but I am thankful for the peace God gave me regarding this. Now I appreciate the moments I can "mother". I am sharing in my friends' and sisters' children. Loving animals and just pressing in to Jesus. And then making. For myself and for those around me. Lovely video

      I loved reading your comment and how God has worked in your story even though I’m sure there was much sadness over not having your own children - I love how He’s given you peace and led you to mother others. That is so beautiful. Many women and families will be blessed by you and the gift you bring. Thank you for being here

    I'm in the later stage of motherhood, where my children are out of their teens, and more independent, but still living at home. I feel this stage is just as important as the first because they still need our Godly advice and wisdom of living and how to prepare to live on their own. Mothering never truly goes away from our kids, it only shifts into another perspective and daily focus. I feel I have done the most important thing in raising them, as they both love the Lord and have been baptized in HIM!! I am very thankful for that! Please pray they never stray from His guidance and love for them. Thank you so much!

    I too was never blessed with being a mother -- God knows who can be a good one and has other plans for those who cannot. You are so very blessed to have your own family - that coupled with a close relationship with Jesus must give you a calming sense of security, that you are truly never alone. I appreciate your being real with us, nothing fake or fancy - just honesty and sharing. Thank you!

I lost my dad unexpectedly and not the natural way last May and the grief has been very difficult.
