Mothering From Scratch By Melinda Means & Kathy Helgemo
This is a book that I wish I could have had when I was raising my own children. It would have saved me a lot of regrets and heartaches. Melinda and Kathy show you how to take the gifts that God has given you and with His help be able to mold yourself into the kind of woman and mother that He intended for the children that He gave you. We spend so much time as mothers trying to be "as good a mother as everyone else" that we miss the true joys that are right there in front of us. Even though my children are grown and gone the book taught me how to let go, to not dwell on what I can't change but to be thankful that I did the best that I could. This is a book that I would recommend for a mother-to-be for a shower gift, a mother who has children already or one whose children has left the nest and whose heart is wishing she could have done better. It is never too late to stop looking at all our failures and to start looking up to the One who is the perfect parent...God.
