Wednesday, May 7, 2025 — Mothering Ourselves with Grace
Weekly Theme: The Heart That Nurtures
What you did not receive yesterday,
you are free to give yourself today.
Words of Light
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
— Psalm 139:14 (NIV)
Reflection
There are places in our hearts where nurture was missing.
Places where words were harsh instead of healing,
where presence was absent when we needed it most.
But healing does not wait for others to rewrite the past.
Healing invites you to become what you once needed — for yourself.
You can speak kindness where silence once lived.
You can offer grace where judgment used to shout.
You can cradle your own spirit and say, “I see you. You are worthy. You are loved.”
This is the holy work of self-nurturing.
This is the tender revolution of mothering yourself with grace.
- What is one nurturing word you can speak to yourself today?
- How can you mother your heart in a way it may have longed for?
Affirmation
I give myself the grace, love, and care I once longed for.
Peace,
Rita
