The Best Job in the World

I remembered a close friend of mine called me and asked me if I already have a job. That was 14 years ago and I was a full time mom to a one-year old daughter that time.
I told her, "Yes, I have the best job in the world and I work 24/7. She was surprised and curious about the job and I told her that I am a full time home maker. And my job is very demanding indeed. For me being a wife and a mother and keeping the house intact is very challenging. I finished a Bachelor's Degree but the lessons I learned in college did not prepare me for  the responsibility that a wife and mother is expected.

Being a wife takes time but I learn to adjust and make the best of what I can do like cooking meals, cleaning, doing laundry, shopping. These can be easily mastered in due time.

But the most challenging one that I experience is being a mother. First, we were not taught in school how to bathe a one day old baby. My mother of course taught me the basics and I became an expert on it. All the responsibilities and tasks that a mother is expected to do is very hard to accomplish but the joys and contentment that comes in seeing my daughters now worth all the hardships that I have experienced. I never forget what my sister told me that taking care of my daughters is a lifelong emotional investment. Now, I know that she is right for they are our endless source of joy, an inspiration, and a reminder of how God loved us so much that He let my husband and I experience what it is like to be His partner in making His miracle.
I am not a superwife nor a supermom but I find that this is indeed the best job in the world!
