I
am not ashamed that when God strapped on sandals and walked among us, God fed the hungry, wept with the mourning, touched the untouchable, turned water into wine, cracked jokes
about religion, obeyed his
mom, defended the defenseless, bantered with children,
forgave his enemies, and reminded us that the whole point of it all
is to love God and love our neighbors well.
Be intentional when you can,
forgive yourself and ask for forgiveness for your less - than - optimal - sometimes - even - awful parenting moments, and don't even worry so much
about being a «better»
mom (and, yes, I get the irony of this point and the title of the article!).
