Being a mother is a very important role that the Lord chooses to give many women.

A Christian mother is told to love her children, in part so that she does not bring reproach on the

Lord and on the Savior whose name she bears.

Children are a gift from the Lord.

In Titus 2 .4, the Greek word philateknos appears in reference to mothers loving their

children.

This word represents a special kind of mother love.

The idea that flows out of this word is that of caring for our children, nurturing them,

affectionately embracing them, meeting their needs, and tenderly befriending each one as a unique gift

from the hand of God.

Several things are commanded of Christian mothers in God's Word.

Availability, morning, noon, and night.

Involvement, interacting, discussing, thinking, and processing life together.

Teaching, the scriptures and a biblical worldview.

Training, helping a child to develop skills and discover his or her strengths and spiritual gifts.

Discipline, teaching the fear of the Lord, drawing the line consistently, lovingly, firmly.

Nurture, providing an environment of constant verbal support, freedom to fail,

acceptance, affection, unconditional love.

Modeling with integrity, living what you say, being a model from which a child can learn

by catching the essence of godly living.

The Bible never states that every woman should be a mother, however, it does say that those whom the Lord blesses

to be mothers should take the responsibility seriously.

Mothers have a unique and crucial role in the lives of their children.

Motherhood is not a chore or an unpleasant task.

In conclusion, just as a mother bears a child during pregnancy, and just as a mother feeds and cares

for a child during infancy, so mothers also play an ongoing role in the lives of their

children, whether they are adolescents, teenagers, young adults, or even adults with children of their own.

While the role of motherhood must change and develop, the love, care, nurture, and encouragement a

mother gives should never cease.

Alright, that answers your question.
