Wisdom from mommies

Two days back, while I was doing my work in the pantry, one of the school Directors walked in to have a chat. She was the previous Principal of this school. A warm lady I would say, well at least I know everyone who has worked with her loved her. I once caught a glimpse of her giving a hug to one of the caregiver asking her how she was. I'm sure that lady must have felt so touched.
"How old are you? Are you sure you want to be in this profession for long?"


She then started telling me about her life, mostly revolving around Pat's Schoolhouse per say. She has been around since 1992 and has spent most of her life here - courtship, marriage, pregnancy & children growing up there as well.
Hearing her share her life to me from her courtship days to imitating her 2 year daughter and how it made her laughed that morning gave me a sense of peace and love. A sense of security.
That night I went for class and had a good time of sharing with one my new lecturer for that module during discussion time when I sneak our to eat. Was too hungry. Haha. Her centre was called 'Praises...' I was right that she must be a Christian to have named it so. Heh. Our conversation then drifted to more personal topics.
Yesterday, I went out to meet a parent and she too shared to me about her daughter and her mother in law! Haha...
In all our conversations, I realised that Jesus was always in the picture. The people who I enjoy spending time listening to. To my realization too that they are all mothers =)
I find a different spirit of wisdom carried by them and in the words spoken different from that of my peers. Just something about mommies =) and that got me started looking out for Christian sites by mothers. In their daily experience, I draw strength for my daily needs and wisdom for my future. The other related issues are just as good. Here are the few sites which I've found =)
