For The Single Mothers
This is for the single mom.
This is for you. There are a lot of you out there. I know, I know that it is hard to be a mother period. But keep loving them babies. Remember that if you train up a child in the way that they SHOULD go that when they get older they will not depart from it. No matter what is happening now or will happen in the future know that your role is important.
For your son or daughter you are the image of Love for them on earth. The name “mother” is a name that provides or at least should warmth and love. Your job is important.
I know you wanna date and met people and live your life. But that life that you are raising is watching you and your choices. Never forget that. When you mess up they see it. But when you get it fixed they see it too. Be transparent to your children. Show your son the kinda women that he should be with. Show your daughter what kinda women she should be.
I was raised by both of my parents but I come from a pool of strong women in my family. Every single last one of them posses strength. My respect for women comes not only from mama but my grandmothers too. Both women are matriarchs of power and love. And they did not have it easy.
My grandmother had my mother at 15 years old. This was in the old school. It was hard but my Grandmother did it. I love her to this day for her power and strength, because it is mine.
My great grandmother was a schoolteacher in Oklahoma. When she left my great granddaddy, she came to Los Angeles. However, she was not allowed to be a schoolteacher out here. She had to clean someone’s house to make a living. But she did it. She raised my grandfather alone and did it.
My father’s mother had to get a job to help to make end’s meet because of my granddaddy’s layoffs in the Aerospace industry. In a time when women did not work, grandma did. A Butcher at a supermarket (I think), go on grandma. Years later when she divorced my grandfather she had enough to buy a house! An African American woman from back in the day did this. Did I mention that she raised 6 kids and worked and did the house thing?
So be encouraged. The Lord is near to all that call on Him in spirit and in truth. Ain’t nothing too hard for My God. I know that that is a BOLD statement but I stand by it because He stood by the women in my family.
One day your children’s children will sing your praises. Endure to the end!
