To all mothers, today....

To all mothers, today, whether you just sent your babies off in a bright yellow bus or you are preparing lessons for your children at home.....


You are enough.


To the mother who spent hours, at various stores, trying to find pocket folders with brads and could only find ones in "ugly" colors or styles....


You are enough.


To the mother who got up early this morning to do final "First Day of School" preparations and still burned the toast.....


You are enough.


To the tear-stained mother who just dropped off her baby- and her heart- at Kindergarten for the first time today.....


You are enough.


To the homeschool mother who is silently worrying, "Am I preparing them fully?"....


You are enough.


To the mother who finds herself almost giddy at the thought of freedom for the next several hours....


You are enough.


To the mother who is juggling work as well as parenthood and marriage....


You are enough.


To the mother who just dropped off her baby for their "last" first day of school....


You are enough.




You are enough because God designed you for your children- just as He designed them for you- no matter how they joined your family.  You were given all the tools, wisdom, and abilities needed to guide and nurture them into the future only He knows.  Perfection is impossible, but growth and maturity grow best in soil mixed with victory and failure- we learn from both.   Flood your heart and mind with His words and praise...breathe deeply, rest in Him, and know- completely- that you are enough.
