Wednesday's Life Lesson

Happy Wednesday! I pray that your day is off to a great start. Today, it’s time to free yourself. Yes, it’s time to forgive your parents. For the times they didn’t show up. For the times, you wanted them to hold your hand. For the times, you feel like they still failed you in your adulthood. For the times, you cried because of your brokenness. The forgiveness is not for them but for you. Do you want to be healthy for your kids? Do you want to breathe and not repeat what occurred during your childhood? Today, I encourage you to do just that. The more we grow, the more we learn the journey of parenthood is not easy. It is not for the faint at heart. There have been times that we have made mistakes as parents. There have been times when there have been more tears than smiles with your kids. 

​Sis, extend grace to them. They are learning like you are. They probably approached parenthood from how they were raised. I know you are like, Lady T really? Yes, the healing is for your peace. May you begin the journey of healing today. If they never apologize, if they never fully grasp the effects of the aftermath, if they never understand the void that needs to be filled, get the healing that you need for yourself. I know everyone reading this blog today will not be affected by this because of their childhood. But today’s blog is for my sister friends who still struggle in their adulthood and even parenthood of their childhood trauma and abandonment issues. May God grant you the strength to forgive and the peace that surpasses all understanding. May you walk in grace and favor. Always remember that you are loved! Until Friday…..Lady T
