SABRINA Whether parent, grandparent, or friend, most of us have seen a chaotic few months. School programs, field trips, sporting events, and graduations. I am guessing some also found themselves in the same situation as I have - forgotten appointments, overlapping event times, running to one program only to realize you should have been at the OTHER program. While we all struggle, I think women take these stresses and defeats more to heart than men. It is a reflection of who WE want to portray to the world. With God, we’re never a bad mom, grandmother, or person. We might be having a bad moment or two-or-more, but a few bad moments do not define us. This is when God’s grace steps in. Not to excuse us from being more patient, organized, or responsible but to remind us we’re doing better than we think we are. Ephesians 2:4 & 5 remind us, “But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ — it is by grace you have been saved.” God’s grace is there to cover us, teach us, redirect us and change us. Life is hard. God’s grace is abundant! Thanks be to God!
