I'm NOT the Perfect Mom

“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”  

~ I Thessalonians 5:24

Ever feel like you’re not a good mom?  I do feel that way often. Let me tell you, I’m not a perfect mom. It’s a good thing that I don’t receive a letter grade in my mailbox… The fact is, there is NO “perfect mom” out there. There’s days when I feel that I just “might” be Supermom afterall…and then, the next day, all hope plummets and I realize I’m not even close to being the mom I should be. Well, the fact is, we just need to stay faithful serving the Lord Jesus.  That’s our first priority. Days do have their ups and downs…and we all have trials. Being a good mother isn’t about being a perfect one…but it is about loving and nurturing our children. Getting out of bed each morning is the first step to a right start.  I thank the Lord for each day He grants me…and I’m so blessed to be a mother. *This post below was a real blessing to me this morning:
