Hi dear, how are you? I hope you’re all doing well!
Together we are learning to be better mothers and daughters.
These posts are not only for mothers but also for daughters; and also for spiritual
mothers. Because even before you become a mother, you are a daughter, aren’t
you? We cannot expect perfection in relationships, but we should give ourselves
and put ourselves in the other person’s place every day. Well, when we speak of
relationships, you might not stop to think but answer quickly: I have a good
relationship with my children. Do you really? I have perceived many mothers
only know how to deal with their children when they’re little because they can
handle them. However once they grow up this relationship doesn’t remain the
same. Why? Because you developed this relationship towards a puppet and not a
disciple; often not knowing how to make use of the power of influence.
Dictionaries define relationship as “fellowship, get
involved with someone to the point of sharing experiences, and learn from the
other.” So relationship means the emotional connection or friendship between
people who come together with the same goals and interests. Every kind of
relationship involves living, communication and attitudes that must be
reciprocal. A good relationship develops when there is trust, empathy, respect
and harmony between the people involved. That’s why you mother and child should
practice these values in
order that your relationship is healthy.
So when one of the parties does not develop the attributes
needed for a good relationship, the relationship becomes difficult. The way a
person relates to others, in personal life, is part of the interpersonal
relationship. The interpersonal relationship is the relationship developed
between two or more people and how the communication between them is establish.
In the spiritual life is not different, the relationship
exists to bring the mothers to her children, until it becomes an intimate
relationship. Relationship is the way which all true Christians must walk. This
is a principle that we should take very seriously, because without relationship
we will never know our children, or our disciples.
The apostle Paul said: “Imitate me, just as I
also imitate Christ.”
(I Corinthians 11: 1). Ephesians 5: 1 says: “Therefore be imitators of God as dear
children.” Paul's life and
testimony were an example to all and it could be imitated by Christians because
he was an imitator of Christ.
Like Paul we must have a life of transparency, and be an
example. Thus, the disciples will not have any fear to have a trustable
relationship. Remember that words can convince, but testimony draws crowds of
people. If we don’t have relationship, communion, intimacy, we will not succeed
either as biological mothers or as spiritual mothers.
Leave your comment, be participative here on the blog, and
develop genuine relationships. Sweet kisses; until next week!

I am not a mother but plan on being one in the near future. This blog really helped me understand what being a mother is really about. Our children look at us as examples and if we don't show then the path of God then who will??
