His Grace is Sufficient

Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
All-sufficient grace for even me;
~ Haldor Lillenas ~

Today I'm thinking about the incredible grace that has been given to me, from my Savior. It is so important to me to share that with my children. We've been dealing with some frustrating issues with Bear right now. It is less than easy to show grace right now, far harder than I ever thought it would be. I've had to ask myself over, and over - Am I acting like Jesus would want me to act? Would he be proud of me? Too many night these past few weeks I've gone to bed feeling like a fool.

It is important to me that my kids know I love them. Not in a "Mommy loves me because I'm her son" type of knowledge, but I want them to know from the deepest parts of their hearts, that I love them fiercely.

I want them to know that there is nothing they can do that will change that love. There is nothing they need to do, nothing they need to be to make me love them more. I love my kids so completely. I want to be a walking, living testimony to Ephesians 2:8-10

8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

My love, sweet babies, is unconditional. I am so sorry that I fail at showing you that some days. Thank you Bear, for always forgiving me when I ask. Thank you Squirrel, for whispering in my ear today "la law loo", and following it with a big smooch.
You both most certainly have my heart.
