There's Nothing Special About Mothers
Why are mothers today held in such high esteem? There was a time when practically all mothers deserved the respect and admiration of the children they bore and reared. There was a day when nothing was more important to the average mom than the health and success of her children.
Mothers today are, generally speaking, a different story. Too many "mothers" abort their children, abandon their children or downright abuse their children. To say "mother" to some adults, means that woman who was strung out on drugs, brought strange men home at night and abandoned them when they were a child. So many mothers break up their homes by chasing careers and other men. They'd just as soon satisfy their id as sacrifice themselves for those children who didn't ask to be brought into this world.
Furthermore, there is absolutely no reason to make blanket statements about the beauty of motherhood when so many women have had their own offspring murdered inside their womb. "It's my body," they say. Funny thing, but "their" body is walking around while the body of their child is in the incinerator or sold to a research lab.
Cindy Sheehan, for example, has attempted to reduced the loss of her son in a war to free oppressed, tortured, downtrodden people to nothing more than a political statement. She has tried to turn his sacrifice into a Democrat attack on George Bush. Is she suppose to receive some special honor or credibility for no other reason than because she has procreated? How sad! How pathetic!
Thankfully, the majority of mothers, are caring, nurturing, loving and have their children's best interest in mind. My mom is probably the best mom on the planet. She loved dad for fifty-five plus years and loves Jesus still. All mothers should be like her.
Thank God for Godly mothers! Yet, in this twisted, hedonistic society, we can no longer paint the average female parent with the traditional ideal of motherhood. This is very sad, but this is very true.
