Mothering Maxim – Love
Love meets our greatest needs.
Mum Moment – In The Context of Family
Lessons in godly love are first and best learned in the context of family relationships. Great families demonstrate love to one another!
Now, every family is different in how they express affection. Sadly, many parents withhold affection because “we didn’t do that when I was growing up”. Consequently, if we’ve grown up without a positive model to follow, we may not know how to demonstrate affection.
Even in some of the most caring homes, parents may stop touching their children once they reach grade-school age. When this happens, an important part of showing God’s love also stops.
All of us – children, teenagers and adults alike – need meaningful and loving affection. God will use our affection to show our family members how valuable they are, and how much they are loved by both their earthly families and by our heavenly Father!
