What kind of Mother in law did you have?
I feel very strongly that so many women have missed out;
On one of the most valuable relationships!
Why do these relationships from both the son in laws or daughters,
Turn so sour and hateful anymore!
To allow the enemy to rob us of another member into our families;
from either the parent or child that has gotten married!
This is so rampant anymore!
I have heard so many young ladies say that their Mother in laws
are just so mean and terrible to them!
Undermining them, and their child's choice of a spouse.
Then the child is torn between loyalty to one's wife or mother or father.
We are told to leave and cleave, but not to cut one's heart out!
Does this all stem from our selfish, controlling motives?
Like a two year old that will not share!
Now, grant you there are a few of these relationship's that looked
good and healthy, but once they married, Then the wolf appeared!
So many have identity crisis, and have come from broken homes!
Many look upon the Mother or Father as old fashion!
They are afraid we will take some of their children's affection away!
Controlling and causing an uproar at every opportunity!
The pain and sorrow that these individuals have cost a God fearing mama's heart!
It's shameful...
Let me remind you of even in the book of Ruth;
She told her friends that her daughter in law was worth more
then seven sons!!
We must stop this horrible cycle;
So may we all encourage others to look at their in laws and also
the sons and daughters, we give away to their chosen spouse differently!
Look, no one is perfect and no one is going to look or do the things
you do or even enjoy, we all have been raised differently.
If you do not, at least for yourself to decide and with the Lords help;
To be the best Mother In Law you can possible be...
Love is a choice!
Do you always have to be right?
I was given a little plague from my Mother In Law
and it had the sweetest poem written on it!
I loved my Mother in law so very much, I wanted her around!
She loved me and taught me many good things!
Now, My daughter in law has been given that same plaque!
It truly breaks my heart for all the confusion and hurt that
comes from this kind of behavior!
If I can, I will try to always lead someone to reconcile the best they can;
But, If there is none to have, stop calling or trying!
Just Pray And Keep Away
Leave them alone, and just maybe they will come to their senses!
Always learning...
Hugs, Roxy
Here is a picture of the poem that was given to me almost 40 years ago!
I still miss my Mother in law...
