Sometimes we tend to look at ourselves with a critical eye when it comes to being a mom. We worry and fret about the things we didn’t get right and fail to ponder what we did get right. Maybe it is time to give yourself a little grace this Mother’s Day.
If you are looking for a fun way to find out what you did right as a mother click here for some print outs.
Grace This Mother’s Day
Our featured article is filled with beautiful thoughts about grace for moms – written by April Nelson. She reminds us that the lies we tell ourselves are not from God. The Lord’s grace is sufficient even when we mess up.
“His grace allows you to extend grace to yourself. We get a fresh new start each day with a new measure of grace. We can wear this grace like a new outfit. Each and every morning dear Mama you get to stand up and be clothed in this brand-new outfit of grace!” April Nelson
Do you give yourself enough grace?

Maree, thank you so much for featuring my post! While I was writing this, my heart filled with a burden for sweet mama’s that may be struggling the way I once did and sometimes still do. My prayer is that this post will continue to encourage many hearts!

Lauren, I have to admit sometimes I even need a fresh start in the middle of the day. Happy Mother’s Day! Maree
Any writer who encourages us to give grace to ourselves is worth reading! I loved this: ““His grace allows you to extend grace to yourself.” So true!
Laurie – Haha – I agree she is worth reading. I too love the quote you picked out of the post. Maree
