Mum Moment - Mum's Attitude
If you are a mother, you might not look in the mirror everyday and see yourself as having a great influence on the world, but you do! A mother, whether working or stay-at-home, has under-estimated power to influence – especially when plugged into the ultimate power source. Godly mums are a powerful weapon against the cynicism and despair of the world. These seven principles make a difference in the life of her family: Encouragement, Prayer, Good Attitude, Strong Relationships, Example, Moral Standards, and Love & Forgiveness.
No one has greater impact on the home than a mother, and that impact can be defeatingly negative or powerfully positive. Mum, you can choose to positively control your attitude to life and the people around you. How you act, listen, hug, encourage, yes, and clean can build up and encourage your children and husband.
Some of these ideas have come from a book used in MOPS: The Power of a Positive Mom by Karol Ladd
From A Mother’s Heart
Lord, give me the courage and strength to lovingly influence my children for good.
