"Let him among you who is without sin, cast the first stone." John 8:7
What would it look like to put down our stones? To put them down in our hearts? What would it look like to breach the motherhood gaps, and not just silence the spoken, but engage and humble and hug?
"Put on them, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, bearing with one another..." Colossians 3:12
What if we took steps, active willingness of the heart, to humble ourselves and our opinions, and instead extend encouragement, love, grace, and hope to the other? To help paint a picture of hope for her children, for their future. To to listen and then let be. To give words of life, to lift up, to gather courage to encourage. To trust grace, to offer mercy, to seek joy for the other. In whatever that may be. To seek Jesus, wholeness, and life, for her, her family, and her God of love.
