I Need Your Help!

I've been asked to say a few words in church on Sunday about "What Motherhood Means to Me". I don't really know in what direction I want to go with it, and I'm looking for inspiration. What does motherhood mean to you? This is a question for moms, soon-to-be-moms, dreaming-of-being-a-mommy, or perhaps just something about your own mom.

well hmmm what and where should I start. Well first of all,speaking from my heart it truly fulfills me, brings out the best in me, it's got to be the BEST job in the world!! Rewarding, irreplaceable, indescribable, A God given role, a privilege, a honor. Blessed beyond measure. Best of all, my children love me despite my short comings and feel thankful to have me in their lives. Is there ever such sweeter words then hearing them pray for their mommy and thanking God for her??!! Thank you Jesus for the pure joy of MOTHERHOOD!!!

Motherhood has finally driven home the true power and meaning of God's sacrifice of his son. When I really think about just how overwhelming my love for my son is, and realize that God loves all of us like that and infinitely more, and because of that love he sent his Son to suffer and die for us... oof. It makes any frustration of motherhood completely disappear. I don't think anything but parenthood would have driven that message home in such a way.

Hey Heather, This is Patricia Fleming (actually Ayotte now). I have been reading your blog for awhile now and I just wanted to tell you that you are an amazing woman. And I have truly been blessed through reading your blog. I know that you will have no trouble speaking on Sunday about motherhood. The words will just come. I am just beginning my own jounrey in motherhood and will hold my baby sometime in Nov. Thanks you for being a blessing to me even without knowing it.
