Daughters

Jul 13, 2006 14:37

I was thinking of my daughter Tammy today and how proud of her I am. She has a good husband and 2 wonderful children and the best part is that they are Christians.
I know there are so many mothers out there who has to wonder where they daughters are and that is so sad.

Tammy is very blessed to not have to work and stay home with her children all day long. Russell is a wonderful provider, a deacon in the church and a superb father. He has, from day 1, took good care of his children.

I took Tammy to church when she was just a little girl and the seed got planted. She started going and loved it and was a part of all activities. I worked as a Communications Specialist for Mentally Challenged and she would make things for the clients and even go on outings with us. She is very active in her church in Florida and her children are in all kinds of activites too!

I have friends whose daughters are wild as turkeys and they are out in the world amongst the 'worldy' people they choose to spend time with. This makes a mother wonder where they went wrong and why are their daughters are this way. They dont come home at night, live with someone before marriage and even have children.
Nowadays its backwards, a baby, then a mate, then marriage.
I think a lot of this stems from the upbringing. If a mother teaches her daughter it IS wrong to do these things, keep them in church and focused on God and instill morals in them, they would not do this such a thing.

I have never had a moments trouble with my Tammy. Oh, she and her friend went 'jeeping' and got in late but that was about the extent of it. Boyfriends came and went but through it all she remained pure until her marriage. She said no guy would ever respect her if he was not the 'first' and I believe it to be true. A few of her friends were out and about doing things they shouldn't and all Tammy would say was, "I guess their mothers did it when they were young so why wouldn't their daughter?"
I absolutely rested assured she was not whoring around, never a doubt in my mind, ever!

Tammy and I had our share of family problems but all that is in the past and we are closer than ever now, talk about every other day on the phone and by email.

I am very proud to call her my daughter and friend. She got out in the world but was never part of it. She stayed focused on God and has been very blessed every day of her life.
She graduated college, got married and had 2 beautiful babies and is very happy.

What more can a mother ask for?

Now boys are a different species altogether, LOL..
They see the easy girls and know in the back of their minds and figure, if so and so had her, I can too.. You can teach a boy to not sleep with anyone before marriage but their hormones are in turbo gear. If the girls wouldnt put out, then the boys couldnt do anything with em..

Blessings~
