Why do mothers go to such great length to protect and provide safe haven from life's storms? Some would state that it is instinct, part of our dna, or part of our natural make-up mechanism being paramount to our survival. I agree that all of those are true, but what of love, obligation, and who designed those instinctual protections? Do all creatures have these characteristics by chance? I believe that life is too complex for these events to occur by happenstance. Logic suggests to me that a mother’s instinct to be universally protective, and hold life as precious is too pure and loving to have it occur by mere circumstance. Yes, I believe that there is a higher power, a plan and purpose for life, and a reason that mothers everywhere and of every species takes loving care of their offspring.
