Hi Tab Family,
Our message from Sunday really hits home with me, and I’ve gone into this week with more compassion for myself than typical because of it. This is lifelong work for many of us— not only to treat others with love and respect, but to extend that to ourselves, too.
On a week that is unbearably hot, I’ve let myself do largely nothing. I’ve taken many naps, and drank lots of water. This is the best way with my chronic conditions I can take care of myself amidst the heat. Our message from Sunday has given me the support I need to do this without guilt or shame.
So I’m curious — what are ways you have been (or aspire to) cut yourself some slack? How do you extend God’s love and grace toward yourself? Are there any songs, poems, or mantras (or even people!) who help you do this? I’d love to know.
Blessings on the end of your week,
Taylor
