Mother's Love Gifts

There are so many young women of today that lack the life skills required to live a quality life in their future. Most of these young women, have mothers who were very young when they had them and did not receive all the "love gifts" their mothers had for them for what ever reason. So now, here we find our future daughters unprepared for the world that awaits them that only gets more complex by the day.

There are so many things that a young lady needs to acquire before she leaves home - that in most cases - only her Mother can teach. Cooking is high on my list of things that I believe a young lady should know how to do - even if she is not into cooking much. Chances are she does like eating - right?

How about the one we all argue about daily and that is - cleaning. It is important to know how to clean your house, wash your clothes, iron, get stains out of garments, etc. and you know Moms this list can go on and on.

That is why I have decided to write this article. I am taking a stand to not only teach my daughters how to do the basic life skills before they leave my house but, all that I know and have experienced in life as well. In addition, my biggest and most important "must do" is to read the bible from front to back.

I believe that today too many of our daughters are out there in life - unprepared for what is ahead of them. Lack of knowledge going out in the world only leads to big mistakes and issues a person with out knowledge or resources are doomed for failure.

Today's woman is expected to be the leader of the pack. Stand out and lead - like a champion through the race of life. We are to be "every woman" - the one that cooks, cleans, raises the children (single handed) some cases, work, discipline, pay the bills, shop, keep track of everything and everybody. So, phone companies keep building more phones that can track and handle more things - things we have been doing in our heads and on yellow pads for years.

God bless our Mothers who did take the time to teach us the things they knew well - as they had in mind - us finding a good man, one worth giving your life too and giving birth to his children. In order to do that successfully, we were told to not get pregnant and prepare your way for college - in hopes that you will find your husband there and when done, get married have children and build a life together - Happily every after.

But, some of us know that what was in visioned - did not quite happen that way nor even in that order. Some of us got pregnant after high school, did not go to college and forget about getting married to that guy - because more than likely he was Mr. Wrong. We had not yet, had enough time to find our soul mates and (Mr. Right) because we were working at some rinkie dink place making minimum wage and trying to raise our child on our own with the help of our parents. Others had different scenarios - other obstacles got in our way - and we ended up in the world - "legally a woman" but, not prepared to handle lifes "little challenges."

That is why I am preparing some future articles to help on this subject. Hope you plan to check back or join me when future articles come up on the subject.
