Graceful

That time of the week.Now, set your timer, clear your head, for five minutes of free writing without worrying about getting it right.

1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. And then absolutely, no ifs, ands or buts about it, you need to visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments. Seriously. That is, like, the rule. And the fun. And the heart of this community..

Graceful...

GO

Graceful is a better word than super mum.

A skillful, creative mum is graceful with the things she does. 

Even graceful when its dinner time. Spin to a great tune in your head when a kiddo has split milk. Hopefully a graceful mum can calm down and brace herself for some knee to floor bonding.

A graceful mum has wise words on her lips and an encouraging word at all times. 

A graceful mum also has a listening ear.. and not trot into a quick advice mode.

A graceful mum plans the day to avoid chaos and confusion in the household. 

Gracefulness also needs to make its entry when everything goes topsy turvy on an unplanned day. (Those do exist you know...)

A graceful mum teaches her children independence and responsibility.

But a graceful mum definitely places the bags gently on the school ground  when all her children dump theirs on her.She isn't a donkey!

A graceful mum speaks with a stern steady voice, with a pinch of gentleness and a splash of love  when disciplining her children.

Gracefulness .. oh .. gracefulness... every time and everywhere we go.... how do we wear it on our hearts ?

It all starts with His grace and that is definitely sufficient for us.
