"We were never meant to be Jesus to our kids; we were meant to show them Jesus. That's a vastly different role and set of expectations," (Courtney DeFeo, In This House We Will Giggle).
How very freeing from the insane pressure I can put on myself to be everything to the people who are closest to me! Trying to reach the standards I so often set for myself can be just plain exhausting--especially because the people I love the most are the very people I fail in front of the most. I'm so thankful that the challenges of life remind me daily of how much I need Jesus. I'm so grateful that His love is always perfect. That He is always perfect.
