When you made those waffles at breakfast.


When you cared enough to get them out of the house on time.


When you listened to their stories.


When you apologized for raising your voice.


When you feel like you’ve gotten it all wrong and go to bed upset, remember they’re watching that, too.


And one day, they’ll feel the weight of those same pressures, and they’ll remember you -


How you kept getting back up.

How you kept trying again.

How you kept giving them hugs.

How you taught them what grace means.


Mama, we don’t ever have to wonder if our work goes unnoticed.


All of it is teaching something.


Thank God for His new mercies and keep going.


The people who matter most are watching.
