“I'm tired,” the mother said softly. Not from caring for her special needs child. But weary from all the advocating, explaining, and fighting to be heard.
After listening to her story, we spoke about sufficient grace. The kind that meets us in the middle of exhaustion, when we’ve run out of words and strength.
Sometimes grace doesn’t look like everything being fixed.
Maybe it looks like enough for today.
Maybe a helping hand.
A gentle smile.
Just enough to try again, to hope again, to keep loving in the face of resistance.
Perhaps she needed that message today.
Perhaps I did.
What I know is we shared a beautiful moment that filled both our cups a little bit.
God’s promise still stands: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Cor 12:9) The God who paints the details on flowers, cares about the details of my life too.
If you’re carrying this kind of tired, may today’s grace be sufficient for you too.
With gentle strength,
Annika
