"Gilgamesh, what you seek you will never find. For when the Gods created Man they let death be his lot, eternal life they withheld. Let your every day be full of joy, love the child that holds your hand, let your wife delight in your embrace, for these alone are the concerns of humanity." This is what is written about man in an ancient text called the Epic of Gilgamesh. And the Holy Bible speaks of something similar in the book of Genesis 3: 18b -19. “It (the ground, earth) will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” These quotations have been and always will be true for man but in this changing world we do find this rarity or ‘villanies of nature’, whatever you call them, falling upon the shoulders of women as well. As Lolli said in “At The End Of My Rope” I would like to add that yes, this life is demanding, moms have to play roles that they have never thought of playing before. Some real thinking, ideas, and remedies are needed. The basic principles for such remedies are given by the Faith and the rest is on us how to work them out.
Out of a million tertiary remedies let me share one with you; most of the moms have to take time to go the market and shop clothes and accessories for their kids themselves, they usually don’t have time and even sometimes money to make both ends meet. This problem can be fixed by using the online mode of shopping instead of going through the old conventional way of shopping from physical departmental stores. The old method of shopping has always been a hassle, parking the car, bargaining with the shop keeper, standing in queues to buy something and many more things that come as complementary troublesome gifts that have mom have to face to keep their family happy, healthy and running. This mode is become almost obsolete these days because it somehow seems a complete waste time and even money. But using online mode of shopping is rather a blessing where you don’t have to walk and face all of the old problems. There is something that comes in the package with online shopping, you can easily get free online coupon codes and get discounts on almost everything you buy online from any online retail store. You only need to learn how you use these coupons and your half of the headache of shopping is done in just a click.
There are many other things that women can do to learn to be good mothers, reduce their burdens and gain encouragement to fulfill their daily duties. Like reading Proverbs 30:10-31 help a wife and a mother to live a life of noble character. Life may be problematic but is there anything in the universe that comes without problems? Nothing, it is only our effort and struggle that makes things better for us. I hope this small suggestion and remedy will help make things go better with all those moms who have been struggling to be perfect mothers.
