I’m happy to be guest posting today at the Triple Braided Life, a wonderful blog about living a faith-filled life. Brenda’s story (which includes having her husband get a heart transplant at the last minute) is so inspiring. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to check out her blog. But first, here’s the beginning of my post…
A few weeks ago, as I tucked a new copy of Robert Munsch’s Love You Forever into a pale blue gift bag, a thought crossed my mind: Brace yourself. Baby showers are a magnet for comparison.
As a woman, I often feel hardwired to compare myself to everyone else, and at baby or bridal showers, the opportunities to come up short are boundless!
The hostess has such nice highlights; I bet I couldn’t afford her hairstylist.
Have you tasted this quiche? I wish I could cook.
I wonder how she keeps this house so clean? It would take me weeks to prepare my place for a shower!
Check that out. Alex brought her kids. Why are they not grabbing at the food like they’ve never been fed before? That’s what mine would be doing!
