The first to wake up, and the last to go to bed


The first to wake up, and the last to go to bed.


Let’s be realistic, the mom’s responsibility’s are a lot and NEVER done. It’s an endless list of tasks that you do over and over and over again.


Ever find yourself as the first to get up in the morning and the last to go to bed? Me too. I believe it's the mother’s way of making sure everything gets done and everything is prepared for the next day to go smoothly.


I believe that God built us this way for a good reason. I can only assume it’s because he Loves us women so much because He (Jesus) loved & respected his mother (Mary) so much that he gave us this special ability to endure so much more than we think we are capable of. He built us to nurture, build up, and teach our families how to be bold, strong and courageous as well as show wisdom & knowledge. We are the backbone of our families.


Maybe, I mean… I’m not a fancy theologian or preacher, nor do I fully know every word in the Bible as I’m still just learning myself. But, I do feel that God had anointed us Women with the ability to endure more than what the Men can. At least on more of an emotional level. They are tough on the exterior, but we are tough on the interior.


Men, we perceive them at the strong ones. The ones that take control, take care of their families, who bring home the “bacon” lol “money”, or “bread winners” and make sure to protect us from harm and danger but, what if we (women) didn’t play our part… could they truly do everything they do without our help? And do they realize all that we do?


Women, we do a lot.  We take care of the kids, doctors appointments, dropping off kids at school, picking them up from school, taking care of them when sick, helping with homework, washing the laundry, cleaning the house, taking care of pets (if you have any) , preparing dinner, cleaning the kitchen, and anything else I’ve left out., AND we have to do it with a joyful heart.


It can be overwhelming at times. You will find yourself getting up early so you can get another load of laundry done before they wake up for school & work or being the last to go to bed because you just want a few minutes to yourself to relax and read a book or scroll on your phone. Either way, you are the first to wake and the last to go to bed.


What if we didn’t??? What if we just stayed in bed? What if we went to bed early? How would their lives be? My guess… not so great. They wouldn’t have that freshly cleaned uniform for school or work. They wouldn’t have that clean kitchen to wake up to each morning. And, you wouldn’t get that peace of mind knowing that you did all you needed to do to make sure that your household was in order to have a peaceful nights rest.


I believe Men & Women both have important roles to play. When we work together as a family we can achieve greatness. God made us to be together. He said it is not good for Man to be alone to Adam. I believe he knew that Adam needed a woman to hold him accountable. To love him. To guide him. (However, Eve did guide him and us to sin by eating that forbidden apple, but that's a different story 😆)


Point being...


We Are Important. We are needed. We are loved. And as much as we sometimes doubt it, we are appreciated, they just may not know it yet. We are building up, teaching, and inspiring our loved ones whether we or they know it or not. So keep fighting the good fight. Stay strong. Cause one day, you will see what you helped cultivate.
