How bad are sales these days? Are you struggling to compete with social media and the truth that my generation doesn't prefer a newspaper or magazine to cnn.com? Have you hired so many Moms away from their primary role as a Mom that you've no sense of motherhood? It just makes no sense to me why you would pit mothers against each other by preying on the sensitive question of are we good enough just days before Mother's Day...a day where we should be celebrated not questioned. Regardless of a mother's decisions on infant and toddler feeding, sleep training, discipline, and child rearing style I can be sure one of thing....mama's hearts are sensitive where their children are concerned. You took that and abused it. I'm not going to express my opinions on which side of your article I fall. I don't entirely agree or disagree with what was written. I do however disagree with a shocking cover, intended to cause a stir, in one of the most undervalued jobs my generation now faces. You have lost my business....permanently. Thankfully your magazine never has nor ever will have any say in the value of a mom or a person for that matter. Here are a few things the true authority says for those Mom's still sucked into the media hype and questioning if they are Mom enough:
Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's MASTERPIECE created anew in Christ Jesus so that we can do the good works He planned for us a long time ago."
Psalm 139:13-14 “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well”
Thankfully that same reference is an excellent guide for shepherding children. With study and meditation on His word you have all you need to be Mom enough...the Mom you were intended. I'll get off my soap box...but I won't be buying any Time magazines.
My sweet family chose to celebrate the Mom that I am rather than comparing and questioning my ability. Here's a few pictures from our day:
