There is a certain beauty that organically grows within a new mother. There is beauty hidden within her tired eyes. There is a loveliness tangled in her unkempt locks. There is an exceptional warmth she exudes from her every fiber without her even knowing. What she does know is she loves herself. She loves herself because of what she is doing. She loves herself because she brought life into this world. She loves herself because she knows how vital her role is to this tiny being and she loves herself because she knows this is her truth. This is the woman that she always knew she was capable of being, but never saw a glimpse of her until now. She radiates an aura of selflessness and defines the meaning of unconditional love. Her purpose is clear now, yes it is undeniable. She was created with His hands to always face the world while holding her arms open. She was created to comfort restless babies and rock them to sleep, to clean messy faces, to give hugs on demand, & to love without limits. She was created to be a momma. There is no sweeter taste of life or rewarding job than hers. She encompasses the happiness that is motherhood.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29
“Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
-Proverbs 31:25-30
