Each of our ornaments on the tree tells a story. This is the ornament we got our second year of marriage. Each year at our annual Yuletide Tour at the Genesee Country Village and Museum we get one.
Lesson learned this past week...
Stop trying to be perfect. I put way too much on myself. I want perfection, I want to be the perfect wife, mother and student. But I've come to realize I will never be perfect! There was only one perfect person who walked this earth...Jesus!
"We've all measured ourselves against our ideals-and come up short. If you know what it feels like to be stuck in a cycle of failure at home, you're not alone."--Jennifer Tubbiolo in an article in Proverbs 31 magazine.
On my mind...
Our upcoming AWANA ministry at church. If you have never heard of this, click on the link and read about it. It is a wonderful program!!
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses...
2 Corinthians 12:9a
"...My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
I'm linking up with Diary of a SAHM for Happy Homemaker.

Oh boy that lesson learned is a good one for me too. I do the same and I have to remember to stop and to remind myself that there is no such thing as perfect for us....we are perfectly imperfect and that is how God loves us :)
Hugs!
