Children are the most precious gift God gives to parents. Parents have the great task of raising their children according to the will of the one who gave them that divine gift.
Raising children is not a trivial matter. It is a great responsibility that parents take on by setting an example for themselves and giving of themselves to the fullest. Parents who take on this responsibility can often have many crises. There may be moments when the parent does not know how to handle it. The Holy Mother will help the parents to persevere in such situations and to keep the children together and raise them as a family to God. For that, we only need to look at the life of the mother.
The mother is showing the right answer to her parents’ problems through her own life. Here are 4 ways that the Holy Mother showed through her life to raise children:
1. See Everything with an Open Heart
Try to accept and enjoy children and their waves of laughter with open hearts. That is a very important point for parents. Children take their freedom completely from their parents as you are the first friend. So try to enjoy the best moments of life with them. The Mother embraced every moment in the life of the Blessed Mother with an open heart.
2. Remember that your Baby is a Gift from God
Violence against children is on the rise in today’s world. That is why children need to remember and remind others that this is the greatest gift God has given. The Holy Mother considered Jesus to be a gift from God and was with her son until his crucifixion. In the same way, parents should strive to be with their children through their crises and joys, which God has entrusted to us.
3. Pain about Children is a Parental Right
It is true to say that where there is love, there is pain. You will know how much you love them when they suffer from a fever or an injury. Perhaps the parents are experiencing more pain at those times than the children are experiencing. Think of it as a blessing. The Holy Mother is a role model for parents who have summed up everything in their hearts about their son.
4. Can be Surrender Completely
The Holy Mother devoted her entire time and entire life to her son. The mother’s example can be a guide for each parent. Give importance to your children more than anything else in life and try to be with them. The Holy Mother showed with her life how much a mother can be with her son.
