What makes one a successful mother? A clean house? Complete Organization? Infinite Patience with one's children? Perfection?
No, one is a successful mother if she: does her best, loves her children (and shows them that she does), is willing to admit when she is wrong and apologize to her children, prays for help and forgiveness from her Heavenly Father and teaches her children - not only about God - but how to love Him with all their hearts.
Do I do all these things all the time? No. But I'm trying and God is faithful.
He has blessed me with and through my children and is teaching me how to love Him more even as I teach my children how to do the same.
Tonight my 2 year old daughter picked up a rosary and started praying for Mommy, Daddy, Abigail, Zack, Auntie Rae, Daniel, Angelina....she prayed to Jesus, she prayed for Him to "make us all feel better", she prayed for a "miracle" and she did all this without prompting.
What a blessing! What more can I ask for? It is in this simple action that I know I am a "success".
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost! Amen
