EVE THE MOTHER OF US ALL

Eve the  Mother OF us all 

On Genesis 4:1,2 We are told that Adam and Eve like most their descendants, procreated and multiplied just as the Creator had ordained that it should be[Genesis 1:26-28]. 

 4:1   And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 

  4:2   And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 

This was the beginnings of the human race. From the many descendants of  Adam and Eve the world was populated. We all have a common ancestor. We are all related and of the same original blood family. There were no casts, races nor national divisions. It is very unfortunate what society has done to segregate human kind.

Although Eve was beautiful,  healthy,  and  had many offspring's. She was told that because of disobedience and sin, she would suffer and  "in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.  Genesis 3:16.

How true has this been through the centuries. Countless are the number of women that have become invalids and even died during child birth! I am thankful for modern medical intervention that has spared the life of thousands every year. However, it is a proven fact that carring for the mother's health before birth and following healthful habits will promote health to the baby and make birth easier and less painful! http://secretsofpainlesschildbirth.com/PainlessChildbirth/Home.html

In spite of this sorrow and suffering, how many cases is there were mothers cast away their children and even have them killed at or before birth?  Suffering was designed to increase love from the mother to the children. To conceive is a serious business and should not be taken lightly. It implies a life long care and often worry in the part of parents for that child well being. Yet how many seam to have no love for their children?

In the other hand, children are commanded to honor their parents (Exodus 20:12), to obey and honour father and mother with the promises of a long life (Ephesians 6:1-4). Do you know any youth that have rebelled to parental authority? Any more these are not just exception but seam to have become the general rule of behavior! Not just in the home there is rebellion against parental authority, in the school and in the work place the same is often manifested. Our society is plagued with individuals that have not learned the lesson of humble obedience and compliance to rules and laws!

Motherhood - what a privilege to give birth to an innocent child!  What they become is to a great extend dependant on the mother's love, care and the influence of the home.

A counsel to mothers from a popular family counselor and an experienced and successful mother of three: "While rules and restrictions are laid upon them, great care should be taken to show them the Christlike side of your character and not the satanic side. Children need constant watchcare and tender love. Bind them to your hearts, and keep the love as well as the fear of God before them. Fathers and mothers do not control their own spirit and therefore are not fit to govern others. To restrain and caution your children is not all that is required. You have yet to learn to do justly and love mercy, as well as to walk humbly with God. Everything leaves its impress upon the youthful mind. The countenance is studied, the voice has its influence, and the deportment is closely imitated by them. Fretful and peevish fathers and mothers are giving their children lessons which at some period in their lives they would give all the world, were it theirs, could they unlearn. Children must see in the lives of their parents that consistency which is in accordance with their faith. By leading a consistent life and exercising self-control, parents may mold the characters of their children. 

     Too many cares and burdens are brought into our families, and too little of natural simplicity and peace and happiness is cherished. There should be less care for what the outside world will say and more thoughtful attention to the members of the family circle. There should be less display and affectation

of worldly politeness, and much more tenderness and love, cheerfulness and Christian courtesy, among the members of the household. Many need to learn how to make home attractive, a place of enjoyment. Thankful hearts and kind looks are more valuable than wealth and luxury, and contentment with simple things will make home happy if love be there."
