It’s so difficult to be a young mother today.  There are so many restraints on young mothers that require concern and worry. The media’s emphasis on negative happenings can convince you there is a boogey man around every corner!  How do you teach children to be open and sociable – and yet wary of strangers, at the same time?  Outside forces are influencing your children and they seem to get exposed to less gentle things so very early.

Yet in most families here in the country, there is a loving young mother doing her best to counteract the downsides: to make life safe and sweet and secure; to assure that her children know they are loved and the benefits of being good, obedient and respectful.  It’s hard to know how much of an impression you are making.  But you know what?  Don’t stop!

Kids learn the lessons you are teaching.  They learn from the examples you set by what you do and say. It will serve them well in the years ahead when they have hard choices to make.  You are setting their moral compass and that’s never easy.

To those young mothers, accept this salute for the fine job you are doing as you juggle home, job, volunteering and most of all, caring for your children and helping them to grow and prosper, meeting each day’s challenges.

Thanks for all you do, young moms.  Never give up.  We’re counting on you!

    Dear Annette,
    Subject: Salute To Young Mothers.

    From one of your hundreds of Male Listeners!

    Please, offer a Salute To The Senior Fathers, who did all that they were taught by their Fathers, to Elevate and Educate and Nurture their Daughters as best as they were taught!

    Please, keep on keeping on, your Advice and Reminders are so important to the Young Parents that may be struggling to do what we did for our children!

    Very Sincerely,

    Christopher Hall

    Chris – As we prepare Mother’s Day shows this year, I remember this post of yours about senior fathers. Thank you so much for your kind comments and your suggestions. Your subject will be covered in our next recording session. Keep well and safe and God bless you.
