At times, we mothers wonder
if we're good mothers.
Mary, mother to Jesus, must have thought about that, too. The Scripture says she pondered many things in her heart.
Bringing up a child is complicated, but the Son of God? That presented quite a challenge.
Mary must have wondered if she was doing it right. Think about how horrified she felt when she lost Jesus when he was twelve years old. He'd stayed in Jerusalem and she didn't know it.
If a mom did that today, an Amber alert would go out, and she'd be arrested for child negligence.
By the way, what in the crazy world is swaddling cloths?
Here's the answer. They were long strips of cloth and mothers wound them tightly around them the baby.
Changing a diaper wasn't easy, and how did she wash and dry all those stips of cloths?
Mary was a human mom with an unusual baby. She must have prayed for guidance daily. I'm guessing she doubted herself at times, but she is a famous, amazing mother.
It’s okay to doubt as a mom, after all, you are a human rearing a child of God by an earthly father.
