Mothering takes different forms.
When you can't be right there with or for your kids, it's always possible to pray for them. What has often comforted me is to realize their Father-Mother God loves and protects all Her children even more than I could if I were right there. Never absent, never on a coffee-break, God's mothering is a presence -- comforting, protecting, cheering, guiding.
There is never a moment when that spiritual mothering is lax, inattentive, bored, or distracted. The way I see it, Mother God nurtures and shelters, while promoting growth in all that is good, that will benefit the children and their world.
