The Mommy Wars ....

I stumbled across this blog posting today ... it is so true it is scary... I wanted to share with you all.  

Before I ever had a single child, I knew I'd one day wage war with an enemy who sought their hearts and souls.  I anticipated battles ahead, knowing my children would test and defy me.  But I never anticipated the Mommy Wars.  I think I watched part of an Oprah episode years ago on moms being too hard on other moms, but that was about it.  I didn't give it a second thought.  Not until I joined the club.  

Let me begin by saying, the Mommy Club is a beautiful place.  The moment you join, you find within your heart this unexpectedly raw capacity for love.  All at once, you are a protector, nurturer, a defender of innocence, a story teller, an imagination factory, a kisser of boo-boos, and a cheerleader till the end of time.  Even on the scrape-me-off-the-floor-with-a-spatula days, you are being sanctified and learning to see God's grace in a brand new light.  It is a special club, one I'm humbled and grateful to be part of.
