The Mother in Me

I learned how to be a "mom" to others, even though I didn't have children of my own.

Dandi, Thank you soooo much for writing this article. It is one of the most encouraging things I've read about infertility. My husband and I have been struggling to have children for three years, and the Lord has been talking to me a lot lately about being a "spiritual mother." It was so reassuring to hear you talk about that in your own life. Thank you for being a blessing!! Holley

Thanks so much for sharing your heart. I am forty six and have no children of my own, but I have three that I have taken since they were infant and what a blessing they have been to me. I feel no less a mother than if I had given birth to them myself. Thanks for allowing me to know that there are others that have been through similar situations and have made it. Love

My church regards Mother's Day as a day to honor ALL adult women, so that women who do not have children do not feel excluded. During the worship service on Mother's Day, all adult women are asked to stand and young children go around passing out gifts to them. I do not have any children myself, due to never having been blessed with a husband to date. But I have the opportunity to exercise the maternal instsincts that God designed me with as a woman by helping out once a month in the church nursery.
