Reflection and Faith – Replay of December Session: Christian Moms In An Era Of Moral Contradictions

We’re now into a new year, and I always like to take time to reflect back on the previous year. There’s an awful lot to reflect on – political unrest, global pandemics, Jones Onigbinde – Great Mother Heart … social media upheaval … it’s easy to forget all the wonderful events that also occurred, mainly because they are never a focus of the mainstream media and are less likely to go viral.

Beacon Of Light

Much like a lighthouse leads ships safely to port, a mother guides her child down the path of life, encouraging them to grow Jones Onigbinde – Great Mother Heart … emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. One of my favorite quotes is from Rudyard Kipling, and it goes, “God could not be everywhere, therefore he made mothers.” On page 31 of my book, Great Mother Heart, I write: My mother, throughout her life, taught [...]

A Mother’s Prayer

Jones Onigbinde – Great Mother Heart … As a child I was very mischievous (as most children can be). I would get into trouble, disobey my mother, make unrealistic demands – I was a normal child. My mother was patient, supportive, but even so there were times when she would reach her limit. Rather than lash out in anger, she would pray. She would pray for patience, kindness, grace … but more [...]

A Mother’s Vision

Jones Onigbinde – Great Mother Heart … Of all the difficulties parents face, one of the most challenging to balance is what you want your child to accomplish and their own, very personal, goals for themselves.  One of the most rewarding things a mother can do is nurture her child, set a foundation in place to help her child succeed in life, faith, love, and happiness and to become a positive influence [...]

Perseverance

Jones Onigbinde – Great Mother Heart … Have you ever had a truly awful day – whether it’s work or school or personal issues, whatever the case may be – where you felt like giving up and railed against the unfairness of the world?  How did you deal with it?  Did you wallow in self-pity, anger, and/or resentment?  For how long?  What did it take for you to get up and get [...]

Influence

Jones Onigbinde – Great Mother Heart … I am often asked what my greatest influence is, and I can never choose just one.  My answer is invariably, “God and my mother.”   I thank and pray and speak to both daily and am ever grateful for the inspiration and character building and life-lessons that both have and continue to impart on me. What would your answer be?  Who or what had the most [...]

The Sacrifices Mothers Make …

Jones Onigbinde - Great Mother Heart ... Mother’s Day is rapidly approaching, but just for a moment let’s forget about the cards and flowers and hastily purchased presents and think about what Mother’s Day really means. About what your mother has really meant in your life, how much she has shaped the person you are today. As we prepare to celebrate another Mother’s Day, take a moment to step back and ponder [...]

A Day in the Life

Moms are B-U-S-Y. No matter if they stay home, work full time, work part time, homeschool, it’s hard to shuffle the day-to-day needs of kids, your spouse, work, the housework, all of it. But because moms are rock stars, we all make it work. It always interests me how other moms actually make it work every day. So let’s take a sneak peek! I’ve documented a pretty typical day in the life of my [...]
