and so are mothers who brought them into the world.
Right from birth, the baby and mother cohere. This is a natural thing (no offense to papas) for children to be attracted to the mother at that early stage in their lives.
I was told that it is always good to keep the new baby close to the mother’s chest after delivery for the baby to feel her heartbeat. Anyone has an idea why this is so?
Knowing that the child is God's precious gift to us, how do we treat such precious and priceless gift? Do we love them with all our hearts or neglect them? It's pitiful seeing young girls and boys of school-going age hawking on the streets. Being me, I pause and ask myself: "where are their mothers and why are they not in the classroom at that time of the day"? These children are most often than not, left to their own devices. What can we do about this people? ........ The answer lies within. Share your thoughts on this pressing issue.
Proverbs 29:15 says; "the rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame" (KJV)
The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men - from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes In our society today, women are assuming the positions of men and mothers are doing great in combining their roles as keepers of the home and senior executives in the work environment. I was told growing up in Africa, that mothers (generically women) only took care of the household and could not do what the men did. Thank goodness there was the Beijing Conference which aimed at achieving greater equality and opportunity for women.--yeeehaaa!! Sometimes i wonder why we get this cold shoulder from our men who feel career mothers are a threat. Hmmm!! Are you one of such by the way? The question we need to ask is...... Should mothers be full time housewives or do both (i.e. combine their career with the home obligations)??
'Train a child the way he should go; so that when he grows he will not depart from it.--Proverbs 22:6. A child is naturally attached and dependent on his mother who carried him in her womb for nine months. From the time a child utters his first words....which is most often than not the word 'ma...ma..' to the time he walks, he seeks shield from the mother's bosom.
