Finding someone to help you travel through the ins-and-outs of motherhood can be a rewarding experience. Finding a mentor to help you "learn the ropes" of being a good Mom, is really a good thing to do. A mentor Mom doesn't necessarily have to be older than you. It just has to be a woman who has children and is willing to share.
Are You A Mentor Mom?
Where are you on the journey of life? Enrich your experience by guiding those coming up behind you and partnering with those already out ahead. Are you a Mentor Mom?
Do you have a Mentor Mom?
Mentor Moms...
- listen to you when you need to rant and rave.
- gently guide you back on track when you keep missing the point.
- emotionally and mentally support you through thick and thin.
- pray for you and your family countless times.
- encourage you to grow (and sometimes grow up!).
- have been there, done that, when it comes to marriage, mothering and work.
Do you have someone like that in your life?
If not, find someone. Better yet, BE a Mentor Mom! Find a woman who's struggling with the routine of life. Provide a kind and steadying influence as someone who's a little farther along the road.
Take her to lunch. Meet her at the park so the kids can play. Let her hear from your wisdom and experience.
You cannot imagine the good you will be doing and the richness you will bring to another's life.
And the personal satisfaction isn't bad, either.
