No mommy is perfect, not even the good ones We all seem to make some type of mess in our children's lives but thankfully most of those messes aren't permanent. Some mothers are more disadvantaged than others when it comes to raising children because they have unaddressed issues to deal with. Some mothers have broken spirits. Others have mental instability or a general lack of knowledge about parenting. A large number have had poor examples about what a mother is. An even larger number have found themselves mothers before they know their true identity. These factors have the potential to produce bad moms and out of control children. Thankfully, no matter how big a mess a mommy makes in her children's lives, God can clean it up. God not only cleans up motherhood's messes, He repairs any damage the mess has done, and He teaches all those who pay attention, how to avoid (and help others avoid) making those same messes in the future.
