Blog #2 “just the way you are!”  

At the end of a particular stressful day with the children, when the house was quiet, Sarah noticed a small folded paper being squeezed under her bedroom door and heard the sounds of little feet running back to bed. She open the wrinkled note and found a messy heart scribbled in crayons with the message: sori we maid yu upset, we will tri better next tim, we luv yu.”  With tears in her eyes, she just wanted to hug them - the frustration of before melting away.  

So often in life we can make mistakes, we can cause pain to others, we can distance ourselves from G-d. But if we just make a sincere effort to correct, to reconnect, G-d is waiting with open arms to accept our humble, imperfect efforts and give us a big, loving, embrace.

This is a little clarity reminder that G-d loves you just the way you are. From a place of self acceptance we are much more likely to tap into the resources we need to be able to grow and improve.
