Motivation for Moms

It is the week of Mother's Day.  Mothers deeply love their children and others.  And we all appreciate it.  Unfortunately, many mothers focus solely on taking care of everyone else and forget themselves.  It's time for Moms to take care of themselves so they can soar.

Here's a little motivation you can share with women who need to remember the truth that "You must be cared for, too."

Proverbs 31:17 (Amplified) "She girds herself with strength [spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given task] and makes her strong and firm."  Make time for your workouts!  Even 30 minutes each day of a focused program will help you to stay strong throughout life.

Proverbs 31:22 (NKJV) "She makes tapestry for herself, her clothing is fine linen and purple."  Make time to do what you love and what re-charges you emotionally.  And enjoy the best you can afford.  Perhaps right now you cannot buy luxury clothes like the woman in Proverbs 31, but don't let that stop you from doing what you can do to look and feel beautiful.  (And if you do buy something luxurious - that you can afford without debt - don't feel false-guilt.  Proverbs 31:22 does not say "her clothing was fine linen and purple, but she felt guilty about it" or "went into debt for it."  Neither false-guilt nor debt is healthy.)

Remember to take care of yourself so you can fulfill your potential and soar!  Happy Mother's Day.
