Ode to Mothers Week: Mom Power....You Need Not To Apply!

"All positions are filled. You need not to apply." If you go to a business establishment where you wish to put in a job application and you see these words posted up, that pretty much means that they have all the man power they need to get the job done. Most likely, each employee is probably responsible for doing one job maybe two. They work the 8, 10, or 12 hours that are required of them, clock out, and then go home.

But, what if see these same words..."All positions are filled. You need not apply.," posted up in someone's home??  Do you know what that means?? One thing for sure is not 10-20 employees working various jobs in that home. However, it does mean that this home has all the man power they need. Except it is not man power,..... it's MOM POWER!!

Moms have many job descriptions. Our work is never done. We work way more than 12 hours a day.  Not to mention, we are on called 24/7.  We wear so many hats and at the same time, too. Yet, we rarely complain.  Moms don't these various jobs out of mere obligation, but out of love for our family and home.  Though, it wouldn't hurt to have a vacation every now and then. ;)


In order to get an idea of all the things moms do, here's a list of some of the many jobs a mom has.

1. Chef - She makes sure that gourmet meal is on the dinner table every night. ;)
2. Chauffer - Those who are not licensed to drive,  she chauffers them and their friends to various events and places, such as birthday parties, mall, school, etc.
3. Laundry Machine Operator - She makes sure the family has clean clothes.
4. Housekeeper - She makes sure the home is tidy and clean.
5. Mentor - She teaches lifeskills that are important for spiritual growth and preparing for the real world., .
6. Cheerleader - She cheers on her family members on their various achievements.
7. Handywoman - If something breaks around the house and she is capable of fixing it, she will do it or at least try.
8. Judge and Juror - If there is a crime committed, such as rule breaking.  She deliberates (if necessary), then she sentences the proper consequence.  It's not People's Court, but MOM's Court. 
9. Manager - She manages day-to-day tasks and make sure everyone and everything is in position.
10. CEO (Chief Executive Officer) - She runs the household.  She makes executive decisions based on what's best for the family.
11. Nurse - She handles minor boo-boos. For major ones, to the emergency room we go.
12. Physchologist - She listens. Whether there is a problem or not, she just listens and renders advice, comfort, and unconditonal love if necessary.
13. Seamstress - She handles all wardrobe malfunctions
14. Teacher - She helps with homework, school projects, studying, etc. If she has a child 4 and under, then she specializes in teaching Shapes, Numbers, ABC's, Nursery Rhymes, etc.
15. Hair Stylist - She makes sure that no one has a noticeable bad hair day.
16. Family Assistant -  She provides any assistant that's necessary to show support and to encourage.
17. Body Guard - She protects her family.  She has their backs.
18. Mediator - If there is a disagreement among the family, she helps to rationally find a way to agree to this disagree without strife.
19. Local Buyer - She buys household supplies, groceries, clothes, and all the necessary essentials that are needed to run and maintain a household.
20. Coordinator/Planner - She plans/coordinates special events birthday parties, family outings/trips, and any other special activity and/or event.

There are plenty of job titles that I failed to mention.  However the bottomline is, you need not apply because WE GOT THIS!! You may wonder how we are able do so much from one day to the next?? The answer is simple. All that we do for our family is not by are natural strength. It's supernatural. The bible says, "We can do all things through Christ that strengthens us," (Phil. 4:13), which includes being a mom and all the job descriptions that comes along with it.

That's why it is so important for moms to pray and intercede for their family. Though we contribute a lot, we cannot do anything without strength from God and His grace and His mercy. Moms, I am hear to tell you not to grow wear in well doing because your labor is not in vain.  With God on our side each day, we are POWERFUL, not powerless!!!

Here's a poem that I thought would be great addition to this post.

Mother's Day Author: Carol Matthews

A Mother loves right from the start.
She holds her baby close to her heart.
The bond that grows will never falter.
Her love is so strong it will never alter.

A Mother gives never ending Love.
She never feels that she has given enough.
For you she will always do her best.
Constantly working, there's no time to rest.

A Mother is there when things go wrong.
A hug and a kiss to help us along.
Always there when we need her near.
Gently wipes our eyes when we shed a tear.

So on this day shower your Mother with Love.
Gifts and presents are nice but that is not enough.
Give your Mother a day to have some peace of mind.
Be gentle, be good, be helpful, be kind.

Happy Mothers Day.
