We mamas...

need to do this more often...heap GRACE upon ourselves.

We load ourselves up so heavily with burden upon burden. You know, all those hafta-do's and shoulda-done's. Whether it be self-expectations, crazy schedules, perfectionism, to-do lists, self-imposed rules of perfect parenting, condemnation, impeccable eating plans, comparisons, guilt, pressures, weight-loss/exercise programs, shame, the list goes on and on and on (I'm sure you can add more to the list too!) AND, we know how to do it all well.
What a refreshing, peace-bringing, burden-lifting freeing thought, heaping GRACE upon ourselves!! Here's a link to a quick read on it that I so savored reading tonight. Check it out, take it all in and then go heap it on yourself (and just a thought, I betcha once we start heaping it on ourselves more, we'll be quick to start heaping it on others too!)...

GRACE upon GRACE." -John 1:16
