Not Every Crown Sparkles — But It Still Means

It was fancy dress day at school.

One mom had made a cardboard castle with glitter, feathers, and even lights ✨🏰

My daughter wore a simple outfit and a paper crown we made late the night before — after I finished all the cooking and cleaning 💬🍲🧹

When I saw the other kids shine, for a second, I felt like a failure.

Was I a bad mom? Did I not try hard enough? 😞

But then I saw my daughter smile — so proud, so confident. She didn’t see what I lacked.

She saw what I gave with love.

And that’s when I realized —

Being a good mom isn’t about Pinterest-worthy crafts.

It’s about presence, not perfection.

💗 It’s in the way we hold their hands when they’re scared

💗 It’s in the way we make their favorite dosa after a long day

💗 It’s in the bedtime stories, even when we’re tired

So let’s stop comparing our behind-the-scenes life with someone else’s highlight reel.

God sees our heart — and that’s what matters most ❤️


📖 Bible Verse:

“Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else.”

— Galatians 6:4 🙌


A Short Prayer for You:

Dear God,

When I feel like I’m not doing enough, remind me that You see it all 🙏

Help me stop comparing my journey with others.

Teach me to love myself as a mom — just as I am 💕

Thank You for being my strength in all the small, hidden moments.

Amen.


Have you ever felt less just because you didn’t “do it like the others”?

💭 You are not alone, dear.

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...
