Today, I volunteered as a MOPS Mentor for an organization called Mothers of Preschoolers. It's an organization created to meet the needs of every mom. Yup, every mom..that means working moms, military moms, stay-at-home moms, teen moms, single moms, pregnant moms. MOPS is for moms that want to be the best moms they can be to their kids and family.
It's a group that provides a caring atmosphere where moms can encourage each other and provide support. Where a mom can feel safe without the risk of being judged and build strong relationships with other moms. We work on crafts, we have playdates, we have mom's night out, we get involved in community service projects, we have meaningful discussions and inspiring speakers.
Today's speaker talked about depression in kids and women and I talked about a fly and bad habits. I didn't get a standing ovation ;-), but I did get several moms come up to me after the meeting to thank me for the 5 minute devotional.
If you're a mom of a preschooler (birth-Kindergarten age), I encourage you to check out your local MOPS group at http://www.mops.org/. If your kids are older, check out a group called Moms Next (A Community for Mothers of School Aged Kids).
Well, I'm off to watch American Idol. Until tomorrow, have a great day!
