HG with Mama and Papa, encouragement over dinner with parenting
Your forgiveness, Father. When I use too many words, gossip, slander… when I\’m competitive or stressed / worried…. all of these things I “know” better but still fall on my face with. Thank you for your forgiveness, picking me back up and wiping off that sin, every morning a new start
