A gentle reminder for the parent carrying more than anyone sees.
- you are doing better than you think
- the moments you’re replaying as failures are not the ones shaping them
- the small, unseen acts of love are the ones they’ll remember
- you don’t have to be enough on your own (you were never meant to be)
the prayer you whispered over them tonight was witnessed
– Jacqueline Whitney
- the patience you mustered today when you had nothing left was witnessed
- the way you chose softness when you wanted to be hard was witnessed
- the prayer you whispered over them tonight was witnessed
- the quiet decision to do it differently than it was done to you matters more than you realize
- rest is not optional, it’s part of how you sustain this
- you were chosen for these specific children
- you’re not failing them — you’re loving them in ways you can’t fully see yet
- you are held while you’re holding them
Jacqueline Whitney is the author Held: A 50 Day Devotional For Parents and All That You Deserve.
