I've seen a lot of posts on social media of people that I know really struggling with feeling worthy, loved, or seen.
Some are downright ready to give up and struggling with balancing the holidays and their tightening budgets.
👉 For me, I usually try to reflect on the positive things that are happening in my life, like:
😍 This year, I will finally finish paying off our debts
🎁 This year, we will get to have an abundant Christmas for our kids
💎 This year, we will have enough to donate Christmas presents to foster children again
⭐ Our kids are all healthy, happy, and safe
🌈 My marriage is healthy, happy, and safe
🛡️ We have a warm home to shield us from the harsh weather outside
👑 We have a strong connection that keeps growing with our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ
and so many more...
❤️ There have been plenty of Christmases that I couldn't say any of this... but if there's anything that life has taught me so far, it's that I have a 100% success rate of getting through tough times.
👇 So, if you were speaking to another mama who might be struggling this holiday season, what would you say to her? (you never know who might be reading this)
