SELFLESSNESS.

i once posted in my FB status that Motherhood is synonymous to Selflessness and it just amazed me that actually numbers of friends agree to what i claimed. For those who are mothers like me and for those who knew their mothers that really well, surely can decipher to what it meant. when i became a mother i further understood what being selflesss is all about and that everything boils down to a more appreciation of what my mother have done to us that whatever kind of mother i am now are traces on how she raised us.


 it's not easy to become one and it could be the toughest job on earth one can ever have. i even always joke when friends asked me about what i am up to at present i usually reply " kina-career ko na ang motherhood" which at first i thought was some kind of a funny yet most of the time i get really nice response about it. it has been always " it's the most fulfilling career" or at times " it's the best job on earth" and some friends would envy and say "it's the profession i ever want to practice" and it delights me. at some point, which i have felt i was already left behind, friends would tell how they wanted to be a home maker (full-time) just like what i am now but they just cant.

so how it's like to be a mother and why does it seems to be synonymous to selflessness? it's plainly because motherhood is forgetting about yourself and thinking about how you can give everything at its best for your child; time-effort-love and attention. it is most of the time giving up the things that you wanted to have and thinking about what your child needs. it is to think about the welfare of your child as your top priorities. it is being happy because they are happy and being the saddest when they are lonely.

by God's grace i wanted to be the Godly mother that i have to be... i know it's not gonna be easy but it's a commitment that mothers have to take. to be a selfless mother is also not gonna be easy yet it's the best that you can do for your child and for your family. i am convinced of that.. i just thank the Lord for the greatest blessing of motherhood, in this way; it can always remind me of how selfless He was to us.
