I Went to Work… and Left My Heart at Home 💼💔

I dropped my child off at school or at my parents home.

Gave a kiss. Waved a smile.

But once I turned away — the tears came.

Not theirs…

Mine. 😢

Because even though I show up at work every day…

My heart stays at home.

The guilt is real.

“Am I missing their childhood?”

“Will they feel I chose career over them?”

But deep inside, I know:

I work because I love them.

I want to give them a better life.

I return home drained…

yet still cook, clean, help with homework,

and smile as if I’m not tired at all.

Dear working mom — you are not selfish.

You are strong.

You are building dreams for your family.

And even if no one says it —

God sees your sacrifice. He strengthens your steps.

Keep going. You’re doing an incredible job. 💪👩‍👧‍👦


📖 Bible Verse:

“She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.”

— Proverbs 31:17


A Short Prayer for You:

Dear Lord,

I miss moments with my child while I work…
but You know I do this for their future.

Please give me strength, peace, and no guilt —
and help my child feel my love, always.
Amen.

They Left Me Out — But God Held Me Close 💔🙏

She stopped calling me after her wedding. My own relatives. My own blood. Slowly, they began to distance themselves. No fights. No reasons. Just silence. Sometimes I wonder... Was I only useful to them at one time? When they needed my help, I was important. Now that they no longer need me — I’ve become invisible. My heart whispers: "Am I not worthy anymore? Am I that easy to forget?" 😞 The truth is, I feel abandoned… Used once. Then pushed aside like I don’t matter anymore. But here’s what brings me comfort: God never used me — He always loved me. 💖 When people walk away, God draws closer. When others delete your number, God engraves your name on His hand ✋ He sees every ache, every tear, every lonely moment. One day, He will restore your honor in front of the same people who treated you as “nothing.” But until that day comes — Keep walking with Him. You are not forgotten. You are deeply loved. 🌷 📖 Bible Verse: “Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receiv...

They Blame Me for Everything — Even What I Didn’t Do 😞🙏

The fan stopped working? It must be me. The child misbehaved? I must not have taught him well. A misunderstanding between two family members? Somehow, it’s always me who gets blamed. Even when I stay quiet, even when I walk carefully — It feels like I’m always the easiest target. 🎯 Sometimes I wonder: “Am I really that wrong? Or are they just used to blaming me?” No matter what I do — love, help, adjust — it’s never seen. Only my “mistakes” are remembered. I cry silently after everyone sleeps. I smile during the day, but deep down I carry so many bruises — not on my body, but on my heart 💔 But then I remember… God sees the truth. Always. When people twist words, when they target you for no reason God knows your heart. And He will defend you. The world may judge by what they hear. But God knows the real story. And one day, He will lift your head high in front of those who shamed you. 🙌 📖 Bible Verse:  “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” —Exodus 14:14 ✨ A Sh...
