The following is from a periodical that I get { Calvary Messenger}
A woman who was concerned about animal welfare talked to an Amish dairyman about the injustice of separating calves from their mothers and to raise them without benefit of being fed by their mother. The farmer listened patiently while the woman ventilated her feelings. Then he explained that the calves' mothers were "career cows". The caretakers were baby sitting for the mother cows. The visiting woman had nothing more to say.
Strange that it is that people can see nothing wrong with a women being a career woman and sending the children to day care or even just not have them until such a time that it is more suitable for them. Or even aborting a child ,because after the woman does have rights.
But you turn it around and do the same to animals and it can end you up in jail.
Now I know that there are times when a wife or mother has to work for one reason or another and that is understandable, I can't help but think though how much better off childen would be if they had a mother who was able to stay at home.
Though I don't speak for every one on here , but I am sure none of us think badly of any woman on here that might might choice or have to work to bring income into the home.
Praise God for all the Godly mothers that do try their best to raise up Godly children,
Bro Randy

Brother Randy, Thank you for posting this. We need to be reminded of our role as wives and mothers.
When my husband and I got married we decided that no matter what life brings I will stay home with our children. So far we have only one child and I can't imagine going to work and leaving my baby with a babysitter. All the wealth of the world can't substitute our child. We don't have much, but we have all we need. I rather be poor and naked but see my children walking in the Lord and rise up and call me blessed. We also decided not to give our children to nursery or Sunday school we are responsible for teaching and raising our children not somebody else. How can we sit in church and listen to the Word of God while our children are crying in the nursery or being taught something in Sunday school we are not agree with ? How can I go to work and pay my babysitter $60 while I will make only $100 is it worth it? There are jobs we can take our children with us if we have to. My mom cleaned Libraries at night and we children went with her and helped her. Then she cleaned houses and we also went with her. My husband also saith what profit will it bring him if he will be in church every day praying with brothers and witnessing while his children will go astray. My husband spends every free minute with us, his family. Our son rejoices when he sees daddy coming home from work. We pray daily for God to bless our marriage and our family and God is so good to us we have a wonderful family.
Another thing that really bothers me is how mothers get lazy and don't want to nurse. I understand there might be some exceptions like the mother is ill and has no milk or the child was born prematurely, but most of us are able to nurse. I see more and more mothers give up on nursing. It's too painful for them or too much work, or they don't want to nurse at night or it's too inconvenient and so on. They feed babies "dead" formula what's good in it? I researched every ingredient in it and I would never put it in my body why would I want to give it to my baby? I think it starts at birth. We put drugs in to our baby before it's even born. We don't care how baby feels it's all about us it's too painful to give birth so we need drugs to keel the pain. We don't want to obey Gods word and do the natural way Gods way. Then we are wondering why our children are not all there but we give them drugs before they are even born and then we continue giving them drugs through out their life then they become emotionally unstable and we blame somebody else. It's time to wake up and live according to Gods Word and walk in His truth. Our children are His children and He will ask us what we did with His gift Sorry so long. This is the subject that I probably care the most.
God Bless

Thanks, Bro. Randy, for posting that. It gave me a good laugh, but also makes a very important point. I'm looking forward to spending all my time with my children when they come.

Dear Brother Randy...I enjoyed your article on "Career Cows" I unfortunately will be one of those career women but I absolutely agree with moms being home with children...I stayed home with my first three, but because of the circumstances I find myself in, I have to work...I cringe when people refer to me as a career woman, I am just a mom trying to make a living...I pray that God will give me a second chance on the kind of life I only dream of...but that has not happen yet, so I must make the most of what I have...I will be graduating from nursing school May '07, I hope to make the most of being away from my little one by hopefully being a blessing to those I come in contact with...well anyway thanks for the chuckle...Love Sis Debbie
