Purposeful Mothering

 Acronym for Purposeful Mothering
​

  With Mother's Day just around the corner I thought I would share this acronym I put together for purposeful mothering.
 Mothering is a huge responsibility and one of the greatest roles we can have in life. In Christ, we can do this!
​    Purposeful Mothering

P - Parenting with a purpose and vision in my mind.
U - Utilizing and using what God has given us for the job He has given us to accomplish
R - Reason, routine, rules, and relationship ( remember rules without relationship breeds rebellion. )
P - Priority setting, portraying Christ in all things, pointing them to the Father
O - On the job 24/7, open and honest with our children
S-  Showing the Saviour by our lifestyle, serving others, spending quality time
E - Effective child training, pouring all our effort and energy into it knowing this is an eternal investment
F - Faithfully fulfilling our God-given destiny
U - unity - being and working in unity, and striving to have a strong family unit
L - Loving unconditionally, learning continually, and listening intently to our children​

​M -  Making the most of every moment, modelling a Christ-like life, mindful of the things that matter most
O - Others that a mother puts before her own needs
T- Teaching by example, training our children in the way they should go, taking every opportunity to talk about the goodness and faithfulness of God
H -  Holding our children's hearts, and drawing our children to the heart of God
E - Eternal investment, effort, and establishing lasting and meaningful relationships with our children
R -  Risking everything for the kingdom of God, Relentless - her love for her children will never die, resting in God
I - Investing our time and energy, investing in our children's future and souls, insisting on good attitudes
N - No moments are wasted, no time is lost, nothing is done in vain
G - Guiding our children, guarding our children's hearts, and                                                        giving our children our undivided attention

 I know how hard a job mothering is, and that we mothers need all the encouragement we can get. And as a fellow mom of 9 and raising my children for God as best I can, I want to be that encouragement for you.
You can do this. God made you for this.
Seek Him wisdom, guidance, and direction as you mothering your sweet blessings He has given you!
 Keep strong in Him,
Mae
 P.S. You can check out my little book I have made just for mothers to be an encouragement and inspiration for you. More Than a Mother.
