I often wonder why we as women, particularly mothers are SO judemental of each other? Does it make us feel better? When we snicker at someone for something we think looks silly. Why must we as mothers turn EVERY little thing into a competition? Why are we so threatened by other mothers? Why do the mothers who have to work or choose to work constantly desire to knit pick the lives of stay-at-home mothers? Why do we stay-at-home moms constantly feel the need to pass judgement on a woman who works outside her home? (side note: I do believe the womans place is in the home and that is where I feel called to be, however, if a situation arose where I needed to go to work to help keep our family afloat I would do so!)
What have we as women ever gained from the constant berating of one another?
Breastfeeding
Religion
Adoption
Discipline
Clothing
Cars
Money
In the Grand scheme of things at the end of the world, I may be crazy, but I don't forsee GOD saying "Women, bring everything you have and lay it before me, ok you with the new Coach Bag YOU'RE IN! You with the Target special GO HOME!"
What does God want us to do for one another?
Lift each other up. Pray for each other.
Help each other.
Love each other.
