Breakfast of Champions
I'm a mother of 9 and counting
I eat guilt for breakfast
but apart from all the accusing voices
One stands out clear
"This is my beloved daughter
In whom I am well pleased"
Of all the shallow guilts I have
Not one is black
Like sin

Very assuring words, sounds they were given over you by someone praying with you. (I warm to the male equivalent, having had similar words to that said over me in church.)

Although not very churched... I am a spiritual person. My husband has witnessed to me with my conscience that I am right with God, so metaphorically, yeah.

With nine I feel at times it might be noisy
So much comfort in the scriptures!
Give yourself the gift each day, "five minutes peace"
