66 | Learning Christ‑Like Compassion Through Our Children – Devotion

Does your child handle life better than you? Have you needed to guide your child through a hard situation and been the one who is taught a lesson? Are you wondering if anything you've been trying to teach your children is sinking in? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing how life has shaped my child in ways my routines couldn't so you can walk with your child through life we can't protect them from forever.  When your child faces loss or cruelty for the first time, it does something inside you. This episode walks through a moment where my daughter’s compassion outshined my instinctive reactions — and how God used that to reshape my heart. From navigating grief to responding to bullying, this devotional reminds moms that our kids often model Christlike love long before we think they can. Kids often model God’s love more clearly than adults do. Your first reaction isn’t always your best reaction. Mom guilt shows up, but God uses it to refine your priorities. Encouraging your child in the little things strengthens their self-worth. Parenting moments can grow your heart in ways routines never will.
