Wednesday, August 14, 2013. I Exist for Better Things Than the Continuation of my Gene Pool.

Wednesday, February 29, 2012. I am so, so thankful for my daughter. She teaches me so many life lessons. When parenthood came for Bill and I it came with "grace"! Psalm 103 reminds me: the Lord is merciful. I need help with this often. Often my mothering is anything BUT merciful. And the Lord has kindly reminded me this week the only way I can show mercy to my daughter is if I remember. How I've been loved by Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for my little Gracie-girl.
