“And know that in our imperfect world, with all my imperfect ways, I have been given you, the most perfect gift one could hope for.” – Kelly Roberson, quoted in the Motherlode blog on nytimes.com, in a letter to her son on his first day of kindergarden.
Something about this struck me, the idea of being an imperfect parent in an imperfect world trying to raise someone I see as perfect.
Neat thought. A good reminder to give much grace, for much grace has been given to me.
