Authority

Hello, this is our first time coming together in our area of mothers. My hope is that what I share today will be a blessing.

I wanted to share with you concerning when we has mothers place authority in a child/children that even over rides what we say as mothers.

In some ways have been guilty of this myself.

Allow me to share what I mean.

As mothers weather it be married or single it has come to my attention as of late more so then any other time that we can hand over our authority as mothers (grandmothers etc) to our child, children.

I have notice in my surroundings lately that children that should be children are carrying the heavy load of the parent, mother, or father or both.

I have also notice that these children that are given this authority seem to have no respect for true authority. They speak how they want to adults as they please or sometimes they don't speak at all.

When told to do something they move when they want our not at all. Right now you may be saying that last mention that all children do that and that may be true but the children that have been given authority do it in a different manner, there is a attitude that is given. As children I know we have all gotten in trouble in this area but I also know mothers of old didn't and wasn't having it.

However it seems that in this day we as mothers have gotten lacks, overwhelmed with the cares of life and our children are being disrespectful to authority. Please don't get me wrong I do know that some of our children have other reasons such as life disappointments that have brought hurt to them and that has brought the disrespect. I am familiar with this type of disrespect in a child/children.

What I speak of today the first disrespect I mention were we give them (children) the authority to take the authority.

Have you ever said when speaking or heard a mother say "He or she is just like me, they don't hold back they speak what's on their mind?"

I believe that a child/children should not be given a time to speak their mind at any given time. I feel their is a way, a time and place that child/children should be allowed to voice.their opinion.

Also have you ever or heard a mother say to an other adults when ask for a decision let me ask my children or that one child they have given authority to answer and make the decision? I heard a mother say I gave my five year old permission to take up for themselves to a adult who was telling them something in correction. In my opinion that is disrespect.

This is not good in my opinion. Why? I feel when this takes place we as mothers can miss out on so much or better yet God's plan.

I know the bible speak of out of the mouth of babes Psalms 8:2 Matthew 21:16 speaks of wisdom from the later generations but I do know that which is spoken in both of these passages does not mean the child/children who take the lead over adults.

Even as adults there is authority that we must obey.

We must let our child/children be just that children because at some point the authority becomes to much and they are not sure want to do with it and it sets them up to be hurt, miss out and at some point when they try to find their youth it's to late and they are resentful.

When I said that I have been guilty of this it was in the area of letting my only child in too much of my business. My reasoning was because I had begun to deal with unforeseen illness I thought if something happen to me or if no one took care of him if something was to happen to me I should tell him things and show him things. BIG MISTAKE!

The devil was and is lair.John 8"44 In my case I now feel like I should have prayed about it and sought other ways and means to help me but out of my fear, me being overwhelmed along with depression, I turned it over to him. It's has now in his adult life cause us some pain in his adult life. I have a few years back sat him down and ask him for forgiveness.

I am not sharing this to put blame or judge but to give food for thought. This community is all a, bout beginning there for each other in love. I hope this has been a understandable, enlighten share because this is the community for women to come together share, give and receive in love. I

would love to hear your thoughts on this subject please share your thought in the comment section.

Blessings to you and yours.

Let's end with a short prayer
