I also can see my vocation as a mother being strengthed as I wipe my sons bottom, push him on a swing or play a game of checkes and even as a wife when i am tidying thehouse or getting dinner ready. When I am not 9+ months pregnant I can almost always find the joy and good in our day but for now we are focusong on putting people before things and teaching Max about taking care of people in need like Mommy ans sooon The baby will be lesson for a few months..........

Mine gets ignored, which is why I looked so hard for something concrete (and regularly-occurring) that I could do that wouldn't compromise my motherhood values. <BR/><BR/>That is very interesting about forsaking comparisons being a priority. And not the first time I have heard the idea. I will have to ponder what this could mean for me. Thanks for the thought!Mathochisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18238592153841235050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95933711137931634.post-85357208388190694642007-04-28T15:38:00.000-06:002007-04-28T15:38:00.000-06:00I feel like a not good enough mom, too, a lot. Wh...I feel like a not good enough mom, too, a lot. Which is silly since I am completely devoting my life to it. I wonder how much of it has to do with how I was brought up - I never feel like I'm good enough in most areas of life. Oh, well... yet another area of my life to improve in. <BR/><BR/>I happen to know though that you are a great mom! ;) And I bet your kiddo thinks so too!Mathochisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18238592153841235050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95933711137931634.post-71707055162258152742007-04-27T19:49:00.000-06:002007-04-27T19:49:00.000-06:00I really don't get mom's groups that are all about...I really don't get mom's groups that are all about not being with the kids. Anyway, it's great to start your own group! Personally I feel most of my faith formation (the practice part, at least) occurs when I'm with the kiddos, and in the midst of the chaos. I also think that most moms think every other mom has life more under control than they do! Forsaking comparisons is a #1 top priority to me.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04500724701139176293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95933711137931634.post-70326066759147454522007-04-27T13:37:00.000-06:002007-04-27T13:37:00.000-06:00I am such a "normie" mom, yet I still feel out of ...I am such a "normie" mom, yet I still feel out of element at our mommy's group sometimes. :) I think creating your own group with handpicked people sounds awesome!
