Today I came across this reading and felt encouraged in a mighty way. I often feel at the end of a day that I have not measured up. I have not read enough books, I have not been patient enough, I have not taught enough for school that day to cause them to excel, I have not spent enough quality time with each of them, or I just haven't lived the Gospel before them. While some of these question or reflections are good some are just plain guilt. Christ does not call us to a life of condemnation but to a life of freedom. These moments should cause me to move to the cross and be reminded that 2 Corinthians 12:9 is true and life giving. Today I praise him because he is a forgiving God and because his mercies are new everyday. Because of Christ I can be a better mother tomorrow.
