Nurturing Mothers: Shepherding the Nation's Fabric
Let me straight-up tell you about a piece written by Peachy Keenan that caught my attention. She's dishing on Donald Trump's $5,000 baby bonus idea for new mothers during his appearance on 'Fox & Friends Weekend.' But that ain't all she's talking about – she's got some serious thoughts on mamas everywhere.
Listen up, you fierce mothers out there! Every year, on Mother's Day, we shower you with gifts and brunch. But this year, I wanna give you something more: some straight-up respect and admiration.
Our world's a total mess right now, y'all. Families are under pressure, our future's uncertain, and everything feels fractured. But guess who's holding it all together? You – the mothers. That's right, you're the ones holding homes and hearts together, leading with quiet strength that this nation can’t survive without.
Now, while glamorous CEOs and political powerhouses get all the headlines, don’t let that fool ya. The most profound leadership I've ever seen is happening in everyday lives – around kitchen tables, in carpool lines, beside hospital beds. And that's where you come in. By making a thousand small but powerful decisions for your family, coordinating schedules, navigating hard conversations, and more – you're exhibiting true servant leadership.
Our culture's all about self-care these days, but motherhood just doesn't fit well into that picture. It's a problem, you feel me? You juggle countless responsibilities, all out of love and without expecting any recognition. That ain't weakness; that's strength under control.
I see it first-hand in my own family. My wife doesn't seek the spotlight. She doesn't chase titles. Instead, she shoulders responsibility, more than any leader in politics, business, education, or the church should. And through her daily sacrifices, both seen and unseen, our family thrives.
Real leadership isn't measured by followers or influence. It's measured by the flourishing of those entrusted to your care. And that's exactly what mothers do, reminding us that genuine leadership must bend low to lift others up.
Shepherding character, cultivating faith, and building resilience in our children comes naturally to you. The influence you carry is immeasurable, in a world that’s obsessed with power and prestige.
On this Mother's Day, remember that your leadership matters – for our nation depends on it. If more people in power followed your example, the world might be a better place. So, take a bow, mamas – you're doing a tremendous job, shaping future generations one loving decision at a time. You're making an impact far beyond what you can see.
Keep going, America needs leaders like you. And if you want even more inspiration, check out Dr. Kent Ingle's writings – he's all about praising the inner domestic extremists in all of us :) Cheers to strong, resilient, and selfless mothers everywhere!
