Adolescence - This Too Shall Pass, an excerpt from the book MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: A Special Blend, written by Christian author Debbie Snyder

Excerpt taken from Chapter One: The Beginning

ADOLESCENCE - THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Take heart, Moms, like everything else, this too shall
pass. It may last for many more months than we like to
think about or even the equivalent of a few years (which
sounds much more painful to type) but it shall pass. Hold
on to the life preserver God has thrown to you: His words
and His promises. “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2
Corinthians 5:7).

There was an article written by Patricia McCormick
that says, “If you can’t fall apart with good old Mom, when
can you fall apart?” I think this is speaking to us about the
comfort level our children feel to let it all out with us moms.
Many times this is a very unpleasant experience but one I feel
is necessary for our children’s growth. Children know
(or should know) that Mom will love them no matter what
and they must have someone to vent on, especially in those
delicate teenage years; so put on your bulletproof vests,
Moms.

In 1987 the Los Angeles Times syndicate printed an article
and I took this passage from it: “Giving birth is little
more than a set of muscular contractions granting passage
of a child from the uterus. Then, the mother is born.” There
is so much truth to that statement! It is from that moment
on that we embark on a journey, with no turning back.
Whether our child is in the newborn stage, the toddler age,
the teenage years, young adulthood, a grown woman, whatever
it is, we have the awesome role of being their mother.


This book is meant for every woman, whether or not you are a mother. It is a devotional that expresses not only our love for our daughters, mothers, and other loved ones in our lives, but also God's love for us as daughters in His Kingdom.
