What Is a Real Mum?

I was tagged by Karen to describe some of the characteristics of a “Real Mum” (I think this meme must have come from across the Pond!). I have been blessed with a wonderful, loving mother and four precious children, and to me there’s no greater title than that of “Mom.”

A Real Mum:

~ honors and submits to her husband giving her children a picture of her relationship to God.

~ has her priorities straight: God, husband, children, home, ministry to others.

~ places her child in God’s hands.

~ rejoices to see her child walking with God.

~ never complains about changing dirty diapers.

~ cultivates her child’s talents and interests.

~ loves unconditionally.

~ mends broken hearts.

~ hunts for the missing favorite toy at bedtime.

~ never tires of rocking her little one.

~ uses the Bible as her most important textbook and training tool.

~ delights in playing with and conversing with her child.

~ would glady lay down her own life for her child’s.

~ never misses a ball game or piano recital.

~ prays for and with her child.

~ instructs and reproves with love.

~ inspires her child.

~ praises in public and disciplines in private.

~ spends time with her child even when she craves “alone time.”

~ keeps band-aids and hand sanitizer in her purse.

~ seeks to leave a Godly heritage for her children.

I’m tagging Julie, Christina, Kristi, and Mommy. If you haven’t posted your thoughts about what a Real Mum is, consider yourself tagged, too. Leave me a comment so that I can stop by to read your post. Remember, you don’t have to have children of your own to know the characteristics of a Real Mum. 🙂
