I would want all women to learn from this story I am about to share here. My grandma told me few years back. Grandma is known for her kind attitude and help to her family including outsiders. She has trained other people's children right from when they were small till they grew up. Thank God she is enjoying the benefits today by God's grace.
I have an Uncle called Michael. He is my grandma's younger brother's son. His mom left him when he was a little boy because she couldn't take care of him. She ran away even from her husband. My grandma took responsibility and started nurturing this boy from Primary to Secondary School. After finishing Secondary School, he told my grandma his brain couldn't carry book. He doesn't want to go to school anymore but learn a skill. They begged him to go to school but he said he understood his ability. He won't go to school but learn a skill.
They found a skill for him which was vulcanizing, he started training until he could stand on his own. He spent years on this and he was already good at it and even opened a small place for himself and started growing his business.
He became an independent person and the little he has, he was managing himself with it. At last, Uncle Michael became so bouyant that he started taking care of his Dad and grandma. They are reaping their rewards from him. News went across his mother that Michael is now rich and it was the moment for his freedom.
For many years, his real mother didn't show up until the day of his freedom, she came to see his son's achievement.
The event started. The M.C of the day called Uncle Michael to the stage, he then said "let the mother come out".
Who do you think should come out between his mom and my grandma?
To me, I thought it should be my Grandma since she was the one who carried his responsibility from the beginning.
The mother stared at my grandma because she was shy to stand up. Grandma held her hand and said "he is your son, go and sit beside him". Immediately, she stood up but Michael was angry and refused until grandma stood up to sit with him too.
Michael's mom was embarrassed that day and this taught me a great lesson.
There are some women like Michael's mom, they forgot the day they were in labor and would run away from their children because they couldn't help care for them. When the children are now doing well, they return back pleading for Mercy. They are so mean and cruel.
I have seen another case where a woman exchanged her baby for money in the hospital because she was poor and couldn't take care of her. She signed the document and after many years when she got married, she couldn't give birth. It was then she remembered she has a child somewhere. She began the search until she finally found the person who she exchanged her baby with.
What do you think would happen in such scenario?
She tried her best but she couldn't take back her daughter who is now a grown up graduate. The girl denied her own mother because she was strange to her and even knowing what she did then, it pained her.
To be qualified as a good mother, you must suffer with your children. You must sacrifice everything for them in order to become someone great in life. It is your responsibility as a mother to be with your children till they become grown up and can be on their own.
Some women are heartless that they only want immediate gratification but not seeing the future. They leave their children under the care of no one and run away. Not all children in the orphanage home are their parents dead, but some have been dumped or abandoned by their parents because they couldn't help care for them. Why then did you bring him or her to the world when you know you aren't ready?
I wouldn't want to blame every woman in this situation because some of them faced circumstances they couldn't control and do not have a choice but to do what they did.
I am talking about the ones who are so wicked and have closed their conscience so tight and did what they did. Some women are just heartless.
Mothers should remember the future and if they really want to eat the fruit of their labor, they should stand by them and act as a good mother to them.
Thanks for reading
There is absolutely no reason that justifies a woman abandoning her kids, it is a terrible thing that people see as a norm in the world today.
Life gets difficult for children abandoned by their parents and it takes extra love to care for such people. I am glad he is doing fine now and may the Lord continue to help grow.
He should please forgive her because a mother will always be a mother.
