We can all recall a time in our life where we just didn't belong.

You matter. You belong.This episode is for every mom who has ever felt left out, out of place, or like a failure — and for every child you're raising who needs to hear the same truth. Reference: Colossians 3:12–14 Prayer: Father, we are thankful that we are right where we belong when we place our trust in you. Help us put on a heart of compassion, filled with kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, and to forgive as you have forgiven us. And above all else, help us to put on love, the perfect bond of unity, and to live out this truth in our lives as we teach it to our children and grandchildren. In Jesus’ name, amen.
