What if instead, when we’re feeling hurt, or sad, we allow our children to see us cry? And when they ask, “Mommy, why are you sad?” You tell them. You let them know that you feel pain too.

Give 100% and expect 0%. Give without expecting anything in return. Because the leading cause of divorce? Unmet expectations.
When we stop, look in the mirror, and see ourselves for who we truly are, beautiful daughters of a loving Father in heaven, something beautiful happens.
