Grace Upon Grace

I know personally I can say whole-heartedly that I never knew a bond & deep-rooted love like this existed until I had my children.🙏🏼 I’m sure so many of you can easily relate.☺️

A while back we were speaking with a friend (whose children are now young adults) & my husband asked him what’s one piece of advice he would offer on parenting. Without hesitation he said,

“Parent with your actions — children won’t remember what you said, but they will remember what you did & how you lived.”✨

This can be easier said then done of course, but — what if we shifted our mindset & focused more on aiming to do our best each day? And when our best falls short (which God knows it will 🙃), to simply own it & start again.

What if we put more focus on teaching our children what it means to be filled with the fruits of the spirit by living that way ourselves first? 🤍

I am finding that not only does it take set intention & consistency to do so, but it also takes humility. It takes an unlearning & a relearning. It takes a boatload of continual grace & self compassion.

I hope this reminds you today that you already have everything you need within you. You are fully equipped. 💪🏼 It starts with believing, & then acting on that belief.

Tell me friend, what is one thing you can do today in your actions that will leave you a bit better than yesterday?☺️
