It’s the reason we celebrate this season in the first place. Jesus came for you, for me, for our children.
I pray this year, that He would help you feel lighter, and so lavishly loved.
I pray that no matter how difficult your circumstances may be right now, He would remind you that He doesn’t make mistakes. You are exactly where you are supposed to be in God’s economy. So are your children.
I pray you get some rest, somehow.
I pray you get a sweet handmade card or craft from school.
I pray the people who love you, see you and shower you with attention and help around the house.
I pray your children give you an extra hug, sweet snuggles, and plenty of smiles.
And even if none of this happens, I pray that deep down, you would hear me, would believe me when I say —
You are a mother. You are so very special and important and powerful.
I am celebrating you this Christmas.
There is no one like you in your child’s life. You can do this and, by the grace of God, you will do this.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
Love, Shawna
