On a daily basis I try to remind myself of this: It’s not about trying to be a perfect parent to my kids—it is about trying to provide a love that is perfect for them. Because no one knows my kids like I do. And although I fall short on a regular basis and make too many mistakes to count, I just keep on loving them. Because no one loves my kids like I do. So friends, if today didn’t start the way you hoped, remember this: Love prevails over failures, flaws, and imperfect days. And no matter what happened yesterday … no matter what happened this morning … no matter what happens … love prevails. Take time to give a little love today. © Rachel Macy Stafford 2013
