It is all about the pursuit of perfection.
The Perfection INFECTION!
We are constantly looking at others homes, lives, and Facebook statuses and comparing them to our life.
Each time we do that we come up empty handed and sometimes brokenhearted.
We have empty hands because we stop doing things in our life and strive to be like others.
We become brokenhearted because we failed at trying to be like others and lost our original focus.
This describes our Christmas this year. We all had a picture of what we wanted it to look like, and it was a MIRAGE.
Now, it was not a total disaster but it was not idyllic either.
As Jill says in the introduction to No More Perfect Moms http://www.hearts-at-home.org/index.php/nmpm-about/nmpm-about-2 we were so busy "chasing after perfection" that we were missing the most important parts of life.
When we refocused on the true meaning of Christmas, the mess was averted.
But I need to give up the idea that it all has to be perfect.
God can use my imperfection & the imperfection of my family to bring Him glory.
