The Fruit of Self-Control: A mother puts her child first above her own desires, many times serving as the suffering-servant as she sacrifices for the good of the child.
Mothers will give their child the benefit of the doubt more often then not, and will remain under control while trying to understand situations their child gets themselves into.
Some times, however, the protective nature of a mother kicks in which can challenge self-control and reason.
But once again not for negative reasons but because of love and the desire to prepare her children to cope in this world.
Mere words are not enough to tell you how much I love you maman! I thank you for letting me be me. Enya- Only Time
