Accepting the Day You're Given | Interior Peace for the Catholic Mom

Part of having real interior peace as a Catholic mom comes from accepting your day the way it actually is — not the way you planned it.

You wake up with a picture in your mind:

Quiet morning prayer

Kids waking at reasonable times

Smooth breakfast

Shoes on, backpacks packed

Maybe even a little cleaning done

And then…

Someone is sick.

Shoes are missing.

A glass of juice shatters on the floor as you're trying to get out the door.

Now you have two choices.

You can resist:

"This shouldn't be happening."…
