It is in our nature to mother and nurture others, but do we do that for ourselves?
We can look at situations and know this is not good for someone and we go to the rescue, doing whatever os needed.
We can talk with a friend and lift her up, pray with her, go to bat for her, cheer her on, but we barely, if ever do those things for ourselves.
We will stop the ones we love dead in their tracks, when they are speaking bad about themselves, but we say the most cruelest things to our own souls, out loud and in silence.
We would never think to abandon our kids and not be there for them when they need us the most, but how many times have we abandon our own dreams, needs and hearts?
I have learned to be a better mother to myself. We can only pour into others what has been pour into us.
Nite. 💕
