The Heart of a Mother

A dear friend passed this along to me, part of a devotional and one us moms need to remember everyday!!

"No one was there to inform Eve about the significance of what had just transpired (birth). They didn't have to. She got it. She instinctively knew what every mother knows in an instant: She had not brought forth this miracle by her own power. And almost simultaneously, she knew she would not be able to raise him in her own strength either. The very first mother in history would have to raise her child the very same way mothers throughout history have conceived and nurtured children - fully relying on God's help...Eve was the first to experience joy and heartache as a mother. But no one could tell her then that she certainly wouldn't be the last."
