Please, tell me what your has your taught to you?

Question

Suddenly I miss my mother who is no longer with us.

My mother taught me that family is important. And we need to love one another patiently and dispite of our differences. And we all are family members to each other when we look at each other closely, even without the blood connection .

LOL, the missing word is of course MOTHER...I really miss her

Answer 1

My Mother has taught me many things, including those you mentioned. I am ever aware of my limited time with her. (Just lost my Dad) In many ways she really is my Best Friend on Earth.

She taught/still teaches me to live as a good person, to learn about Jehovah, and to try to emulate His wishes in my daily life.
She's taught me how to try to live on a dime, on a dollar, or a penny if need be.
She's shown me how to love.

What a wonderful question to ask.

Answer 2

I do not have a mother. . .. not since I was 12.
She's still living, she's actually sitting on the desktop computer laughing at the television right now a floor below me. I'm on the second floor on my laptop.
My mother tells me everyday that she hates me and wishes that I wasn't her daughter. That she wishes I was never born and hopes that I go away soon and never come back...

What has she taught me?

She has taught me that when I have children:
Never scream at them
Tell them you love them everyday, even if they whine at you.
Never hurt them, physically, mentally, or otherwise
When they try to run away, go find them.
Always love them no matter who they become
Let them do their own hair
Let them pick their own clothes

...and always be their MOTHER.


She taught me all these things in a way because these are all of the rules she disregarded when it came to raising me.

I now live with a woman who is not my Mother. She is just a person. Someone who has hurt me far too many times to feel any compassion towards.

Everyone that does have a Mother should feel truly blessed.

Answer 3

I hardly grew up with my own mother. Situations and circumstances made us being together not always consistent and possible. As a younger woman I felt a lot of anger and did not understand many things that caused her to be the way she was.
As a woman I thank the Lord that I can see her through mature eyes.
She did her best by us. I suffered being away from her but she suffered also being away from me.
She taught me some crucial things not just by her words but by her actual life.

- No one is perfect. We really make some horrible mistakes, and no matter what kind of choices we may have made.. Our hearts are in the right place.

- Time will tell.

-Never be to stubborn to say that you are sorry. Never be even more stubborn to not forgive. Both are equal prisons.

- Give youself to love the Lord. This not only blesses you as a mother. It blesses your children and gives the Lord a way to reach and woo their hearts to love Him.

-Even when I feel detatched from her she grabs me anyways and gives me her short little hug. This chick actually reaches me mid chest in height:)

- We are both women and mothers. Its easy to point a finger at another and say what you would do differently. But its best to wait until your own children are fully grown before you can pass a decent judgement. Who knows? maybe your mother did a better job raising you than you did raising your own kids.

-She is full of love and feeling for me. I know that if there is one person that the Lord will awaken at the wee hours of the morning to interceed for me .. ITS HER. My mother. May i be such a mother to my own two daughters

- I think most of all sister. I learned from my mother that you cannot hold on to the past. You need to take each day as it comes. What you know is so limited now and you fuss over sillyl things.. then years down the road when I am 45 yrs .. I'd look back and laugh or regret...I cannot let days gone by be the reason for me to hold back on loving her or opening up myself to feel her love. One day she wil not be with me anymore physically and I'd not want to look back and ache because i wasted time being indifferent or angry or selfish.


Sister... Tnx
I needed to say something that I didn't want myself to hear.

Your sister

Answer 4

        Unfortunately, my mother taught me many things that no child should ever learn. As a result of those things, however, I've had to learn what it truly means to forgive and forget so that my relationship with her could be reconciled. There is still a distance, though, which shouldn't be there. Also unfortunately, though, is that the time for developing a close bond between child and mother has gone.

        On the flip side, though, I did observe some good traits in my mother as I was growing up. As a result, I had an appreciation for some of what it takes to be a good parent. For the other things, I also determined to be better than that when it came my turn to be a parent. So, I guess Romans 8:28 is true. ;-)

God bless.

Answer 5

My mother was absolutely a super-duper mom. She could've worn a big "M" on her blouse, since she was so nurturing with even the other kids in the neigborhood. I think of that one TV commercial "Somebody's Mom", and I immediately think of her. She showed that she saw all of us as much more important than a clean home (when it was either us or it!), while still managing an orderly home. There are many good memories of having fun with my friends at home too. She encouraged it, and when things got a little out of control, she'd use alot of humor and singing even in her redirecting! It almost always was effective in getting our attention. She of course taught us (my older brother and two younger twin sisters) right from wrong, good social skills (how to deal with challenges, conflicts and difficult people), and even helped us with our homework up until it was time for us to go it alone in junior high. I found out later from my maternal grandmother that she in fact helped her raise her 7 sibs, being that she was the oldest. She is now 77 years old, and is still quite bright (reads prolifically), pretty (she looks alot like Lena Horne), and spry as ever (does the ladies workout gym "Curves" 3x's a week, goes to church, movies and restaurants frequently with my dad and her friends). I will truly miss her, if the Lord wills that she goes to be with Him before I do (at this point, that seems less likely than I thought!) I guess that'll be a difficult junction in life's journey for me if she does.

Sorry to hear that your mother and you are now separated due to her death. Was it just recently? I pray that it is only the grave that separates you for now, and when your day appointed to go to be the Lord comes, you'll have an incredible "coming Home" party with her and our Heavenly Father before His throne!

Answer 6

I miss the mother I never had. She was physically there but not emotionally or anything else. She seriously taught nothing. I needed to be awake, out of bed all year at 5 a.m. so she could make the bed and clean. I had to be out of the house and not return until dinner. I had to use the neighbor bathrooms etc. She did have main problems obviously. I learned her home meant more to her than anything in the world. I learned hipocracy. Going to church with her on Sun and walking out of church and talking about everyone there and who wore what. My dad showed me the wrongness of that. Encouraged my growth and independence. Took care of me when I was sick. Was my friend and my disciplinarian.
My dad, was there for PTO, holloween, taught me to sew, knit, bake, work ethics and most importantly he taught me about faith and trusting in God to always be there for me and provide for me. He was a dad and what I would consider a mom.

Answer 7

Dear Nina,

I'm about to drive a very good friend to court because she had a biopsy yesterday and is too uncomfortable to be driving. I was really surprised that EARLY Bird that she is she sent me this question bright and early.

Since I'm getting on in years (approaching 60) I have changed the word that I use when I think of those who have died. Instead of thinking about missing them I "treasure" the memory of them.

On December 15 it will be 4 years since my dad died so I've been treasuring his memory a lot lately. He was the first person that I loved. I really can't put into words all that I learned from him but I know that because of him I am able to be driving my friend (that I met at church in the summer of 2007) to court this morning.

For His glory,
JOYfilled

Answer 8

I do not have a mother anymore...she is living, but she has had no contact with me in over 25 years...I guess my mothr taught me how to love my children, because I know first hand how it feels to be unloved by parents.

My grandmother was the love of my life, and I miss her greatly. If it wasn't for her love, I might not have made it .

May God bless you as well Lavender..You seem to be a sweetie!

Answer 9

in my view, little ones are easily 'brainwashed'. You tell them for countless years how Santa Clause is actual and that they 'recognize' that he exists. whilst i became into 6 years previous, I 'knew' for a actuality he became into actual. As you develop older/wiser, you need to use some uncomplicated good judgment to grasp that the theory of Santa does not make any experience. that's precisely an identical ingredient with Jesus/God/Heaven. i do no longer choose to offend every person, however the finished ingredient is extremely controversial. little ones are born into non secular families and are "brainwashed" in the precise same way. different than rather of Santa or despite, they are advised approximately God, etc. Their parents have been "brainwashed" in an identical way. by means of fact that's no longer completely ridiculous like the theory of Santa, those human beings do no longer oppose it as they develop older/wiser (despite if no you may teach it the two). non secular human beings have faith of their faith in precisely an identical way that a baby believes in Santa Clause. Believing completely in technological understanding, I of course question each and every thing. i visit commonly hear something on the radio or television and picture to myself 'that doesn't make any experience'. those with out lots elementary experience are easily brought about have faith many stuff.

Answer 10

My mom taught me to be a self-reliant, resourceful, independent, outspoken person. She taught me the value of education as well, the importance of integrity and self-respect. She taught me that softness can also be a strength and that a woman's strength lies in her ability to be flexible in the face of life's problems. She taught me that it is better to be on the giving end than the receiving end of a helping hand, that when we help, we help because we want to and not because there's something in it in return. She taught me to fight for what is right and always fight for the weak and their rights as well.
