BEFORE I WAS A MOM

Before I was a Mom...
I made and ate hot meals
I had unstained clothing
I had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a Mom...
I slept as late as I wanted
And never worried about how late I got into bed
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was Mom...
I cleaned my house each day
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to lullabies.

Before I was a Mom...
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom...
I had never been puked on
Pooped on
Spit on
Chewed on
Peed on
Or pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Mom...
I had complete control of my mind
My thoughts
My body
And I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom...
I never held down a screaming child
So that doctors could do tests
Or give shots.

Before I was a Mom...
I never looked into teary eyes and cried
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom...
I never held a sleeping baby
just because I didn't want to put it down
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
When I couldn't stop the hurt.

Before I was a Mom...
I never knew that something so small
Could affect my life so much
I never knew that I could love someone so much
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom...
I didn't know the feeling
of having my heart outside my body
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby
I didn't know that bond
between a Mother and her child
I didn't know that something so small
Could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Mom...
I had never gotten up
in the middle of the night
Every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.

Before I was a Mom...
I had never known the warmth
The joy
The love
The heartache
The wonder
Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom...
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much.




Today you were in my thoughts and I prayed for you...

Do you know Jesus as your personal Savior?.... Why not accept Him as your Savior and Lord today?
The Bible says, "Now is the acceptable time, behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2)...
