One Load of Laundry at a Time
Is there any occupation more fraught with humility and sacrifice than motherhood? Surely there is, but it escapes me at present. A mother’s life is a sacrificial life, if it’s done right. On the job 24/7, 2 am feedings, diapers . . . oh so many diapers, breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, oh my! And laundry. A moment of silence, please . . .

But woven throughout Scripture is a radical command: release the offense—not because we excuse the pain, but because Christ has first forgiven us.
I Need to Trust Jesus But I Really Want Control
