So with all the
hype & excitement of the Royal birth (who
doesn't love the news of a new baby) I was watching a video of Kate and
wills as the came out of the hospital and I was thinking, firstly, she may
be the Princess of Cambridge but she is still a woman and would have many of
the same feelings, fears and experiences as the rest of us. She still gives
birth the same way, she would still feel pain, excitement and anticipation,
after all she can’t magic the baby out. lol Sure her care would have been
100 times what we could expect, but there must be so much she's feeling as a
new mum that is just like the rest of us 'non Royals' every day people.
Secondly I thought
WOW the pressure on her now to bring up the future king must be huge, who'd
want that as a new parent, its hard enough being a first time Mum let alone
marry into the Royal family and become a mother to a future King.
Anyway then I got
to thinking she has the future King of England to bring up, he'll still be her
baby boy, but the pressure - I wonder what that would be like on her... my
thoughts then went to my little man and all those other little ones coming into
the world and I realised, we all have future kings and queens to bring up
really.. (Not the ones who will rule over
a country or a Nation) but our little ones are our own type of Royalty;
they are the leaders of tomorrow.. They are our future Engineers, Musicians,
Doctors, Builders, CEO's, Farmers, Electricians etc.... Leaders of all kinds
and just to bring up a good kid... A child who is happy and healthy, who is
kind, caring and thoughtful who loves and values life, we ALL have that
pressure and responsibility ... after all children are a reflection of their
parents in some degree (if not more) aren’t
they?
So Enjoy your
little ones do what you can now with them and for them, for tomorrow they take
off into the big wide world and make their mark...

Thanks for sharing the link to this on Facebook. I am teaching a lesson in Relief Society on Sunday on finding joy in womanhood and motherhood and I think I might mention some of these ideas. :) Hope you are well!
