Watch Your Words

Hi Moms:

Do these words sound familiar?:  "No one appreciates me!"; This situation will never change!"; "My children are so bad!" There is power in our words.  When you use negative words, you get negative results.  So watch what you say and know God has the ability to change any situation.  Change your words to:  "I am loved!"; "My life is getting better!"; "My children have a bright future!" Wait for changes to happen as you watch your words.

You Made It!

Hi Moms:
If you are reading this message, you've made it to another day.  Some people didn't. So, now what?  How will you begin your day?  Will you begin the day being hopeful or hopeless?  Let's develop a pattern with daily personal praise; rejoice and be glad! Have a great day!

Seek the Opportunities

Hi Moms!
Volunteering is a great way to share your talents.  Churches, Recreation Centers, Girl and Boy Scouts and PTA always need volunteers.  Do you have the patience to care for little ones in the church nursery? Maybe you can gather clothes for the homeless. Or maybe you have the skills to coach a softball team.  There are many opportunities to serve in your community.  Volunteering is also a great way to meet new friends.

Take a Breath

Hi Moms:

Have you ever had a bad day; you blow your top at the children, break that special crystal vase that belonged to your Grandmother; burned the roast. Just remember - Nobody is perfect, not even Moms.  We all have days when things don't go as we planned. But hang in there. Tomorrow is another day and it will be a better day. So many people have faith in you. Learn to have faith in yourself too.

Just a What?

Hi Moms:

When I strike up a conversation with a lady at the grocery store and ask her, "So what do you do?", then she says, "I'm just a Mom", it makes me cringe. Just a Mom; are you kidding!   Moms have a purpose. Moms impact the future of our next generation. Moms have the most important jobs in the world! Remember how your Mom affected your life?  Moms have power!

Children See - Children Do

Hi Moms:

Our children are great observers.  And as a Mom, you know they will follow our actions; sometimes even closer than they follow our words. When we tell our children not to tell a lie, but then ask them to tell a caller on the phone we aren't home, what's a child to think?  We are our children's first teacher. What are you teaching your children?

Take a Deep Breath

Hi Moms:

Let's be honest. Life can cause us to lose our temper! Bumper to bumper traffic, Bosses, Bullies! Everything isn't perfect and real people have real emotions. So when those emotions happen - take a walk, count to 100 or eat some chocolate. And when the issues are more serious, talk to your Pastor, see a Counselor or talk to a close friend. Find a way back to your peaceful place.
