Motherhood: sacrificing for something greater

We read an article entitled Does a Full-Time Homemaker Swap Her Mind for a Mop? It was a very interesting article. I am grateful for motherhood and the blessing that come from this role. Here are my thought of this article. I have heard this phrase before this article. It was shocking to hear. I guess in a way some women can see motherhood as such, and so they don't create a family. Sadly, these women see the world differently. Being a mother doesn't degrade the education we get and it definitely doesn't cause us to forget what we have learned. Some women feel that once they are a mother their education will go to waste. What a silly thought. We continue to use our education even as a mother. Our brains don't go to mush. In fact, we use our education. We can use out education and teach our children. Mothers with an education are more involved with their children's lives and teach them more. As mothers with degrees, we can educate our children everyday. We can be an example of getting an education and blessing our family with it. Motherhood and education go hand in hand. We don't lose by sacrificing more education of perhaps and incredible job, but gain something much greater with more purpose by choosing motherhood and teaching within the home.
