You're Going To Be A Mother

Hey, remember that young women's lesson that started off like this?

"Now girls, every one of us is a daughter of God who has unique needs, wants and desires. Those are God given and you have every right to find your place in this world, to make your life what you want it to be. One day you may choose to be a mother. If this is the path you choose to walk the day will come when you will begin a sacred life of renunciation where your needs will never come first again. You will devote your time, your life, your love and your heart to your children. It's rewarding beyond anything you can comprehend, but incredibly challenging, so make sure you get your head on straight before you get there. Learn what you need to be balanced, to be healthy, to be strong and stable. Learn how to love deeply and to forgive in sincerity. Live a full life. Chase your dreams, get your education, travel, take chances, make mistakes and learn from them. That way, if you have those babies, when their lives become even more challenging and complex than the life you live now, you will have the answers rooted deep in your soul and be able to share with them. A mother is a teacher. Go out and learn. Live fully so you can enrich the lives of those God brings into your world."

Remember that? Yeah, me neither.

Maybe we can do something about that.
