I’d like to elevate the role of godly mothers by looking at the influence a godly mother and grandmother had on a well-known young man named Timothy. Most kids would vote for less junk and a mom at home. While I realize that there are legitimate cases of economic hardship where the mother’s job is a necessity (as with single moms), there are also many situations where the family could make it on just the husband’s job, but they choose to have the mother work so they can “have a better lifestyle.” But I question whether trading a mother at home for increased income really provides a better lifestyle.
By 1987, that figure had jumped to over 50 percent.Įven many Christians have adopted the cultural trend. In 1976, 31 percent of mothers were back on the job before their child’s first birthday. Young mothers also return to work sooner after the birth of their babies than ever before. “Leave it to Beaver” was not an untypical home situation! By 1985, over 50 percent of mothers with children five and under were working. In 1950, only 12 percent of women with preschool children worked outside the home. If kids come along, they are dropped off at the day care center, sometimes even as infants. Women are encouraged to find fulfillment in a career, not in raising children. And, thus, one of the greatest gifts you can give your children is to be a godly mother.īut, sadly, the influence of the feminist movement has caused the status of motherhood to decline. Mothers do influence their sons and daughters! One of life’s greatest blessings is to have a godly mother. Armstrong: “Neil has no more business taking flying lessons than the man on the moon.” ( Reader’s Digest, p. Washington: “George never did have a head for money.” Lindbergh: “Charles, can’t you do anything by yourself?” Morse: “Sam, stop tapping your fingers on the table-it’s driving me crazy!”
Someone imagined the mothers of these well-known sons making the following comments:
