Sons need mothers who feel at peace, comfortable with themselves, content with their lives, and reasonably rested.

When we make a mistake in front of them, we need to admit fault and we need to tell them that we try hard, but that sometimes we too need help Tell him you need to ask God for direction on how to live better and how to be a better mom. Then ask your son to pray for you, just as you pray for him. That can be a life-changing moment for many sons, when a mother admits that she's trying with all her might but isn't doing the job that she really wants to be doing and needs help.

The tricky part about discovering our giftedness is that it may be in an area that feels unexpected.

Friends who love us know that motherhood is about transitioning--and adjusting, constantly, to those changes. We must become masters of change because that is what life demands of us.
