I watched a very powerful sermon yesterday given by my favorite Paster. He encouraged us to bless our children everyday. And to stop believing in all the negativity about ourselves that we may have believed our whole life. That's a tough one for me. For many years I believed I had sinned so much that I was unworthy of God's gifts or His Grace for that matter. I figured I was BAD and that if I was bad I was going to Hell so I figured I may as well have fun on the way. That was many years ago before sobriety and unadulthood. I know now that I am a beautiful child of God and created perfectly.
Trying to get my children to understand that about themselves is another story. But I also learned that all I have to do is love them and let them know that love them every single day. God will do the rest. THANK GOD! What an enlightening thougtht to see that I am just fine, just as I am at this very moment. Very, very freeing.
Now I can go about my day!
