It wasn't by random coincidence that woman was created after man. The good Lord knew that for man to reach his full potential he needed a help-mate to support him. That is also why the greatest gifts from God to man, comes from a woman (Jesus, Sex, Babies, Cooking etc.) Since mankind's beginning woman has been there. That is a fact that should not be forgotten or undervalued. Women make it possible for the human race to multiply and flourish because of her God given power to create life. But yet as time passed both man and woman have diminished the sanctity of her primary function...her function as a mother. The role of mother has been taken for granted and not been respected for the crucial part it plays in the daily life of both women AND men. The woman is given all the tools to be able to inspire boys to become men and encourage girls to become women. Even her body and mind were constructed and crafted in order to handle the monumental task of carrying, birthing and raising a child.
But the truly phenomenal aspect of a woman is that she is endowed with the divine spark to still become a mother even if she has never carried, birthed or raised a child. She has the instincts to become a caring figure in or out of the home. Sadly due to the eroding structure of our societies the contributions of motherhood have also been minimized. There was a time when becoming a mother/mother figure meant something. Now mothers are burdened with taking on the responsibility of being the help-mate AND head of the household due to men failing as fathers and being absent as providers. The already stressful task of being a mother now becomes a heavy burden. That trickles down negatively through the family unit. Young daughters can become mothers in their teens and without their mother's availability to teach them how to properly raise their own kids, they too become lost. She doesn't inherit the skills needed to blossom into a mother. She hasn't been taught how to identify, support and ultimately start a family with a good man. The family dynamic has been restructured and is now being lead by the lost and the cycle is then repeated until generations have suffered and the knowledge of being a mother/mother figure is neither taught nor passed down.
The other side of that coin is the impact on the sons. The lack of a consistent motherly figure in his life can set him up for future failures. He doesn't learn how to be sensitive to a woman's hurts or understanding of her problems. Because he isn't taught the invaluable lessons of living with a woman, he becomes severely disadvantaged when dealing with women as he grows in his life. His greatest tragedy comes when he attempts to court a wife and eventually when he fathers and then raises a daughter. The absence of a mother can cause emotional and psychological damages that can manifest much later in the lives of adults. Her presence is a reassuring influence that cannot be matched. There is not a person that has lived or died that has not come through a mother's tunnel of life. Mankind NEEDS mothers. Not just for populations sake but for the sake of our populations. This reason, among countless others is why mothers should always be treasured. Yes mothers still matter because even though we are all brought into this life by one mother...we all die having our lives made better by many more.
Be Safe. Be Blessed.
