Because I struggle with chronic pain, sometimes I’m a little crankier than others. It doesn’t excuse it, but I understand the relationship much better now.

I’ll remember this, for sure.

I try to reinforce this to women who have low self-esteem because it is so true. We wouldn’t behave this way with any of our friends, but we do it to ourselves. It is so important for us to say: “I love God, and I love myself.” That has helped me tremendously.

Big hugs to you, my sister.

It’s very sad–and sobering–to see the effects of our words, actions, and attitudes on our children. I’m trying to keep this in mind as I interact with them. Not perfect, but progress.

Blessings,
Daphne

God bless!

We have fresh blueberries in our garden. I’ll have to look into strawberries too.

My husband routinely asks me this. It’s very humbling to have someone you love do this. It shows they really care. I try to do the same with him. Sometimes he says he doesn’t have anything at the moment, and other times, he does. Either way, I can tell it makes a deep impact on him–just the fact that I asked. And vice versa too.

Thanks for sharing.
