The yelling.

The disobedience.

The meltdown at the grocery store.

You kept your cool — until you didn’t.

And now the shame creeps in…

“I should be better than this.”

“They deserve more patience.”

“I’m failing.”

But listen — a hard day doesn’t mean you’re a bad dad.

It means you’re human.

What matters is what you do next:

The repair.

The apology.

The grace you give yourself.

God isn’t expecting perfection.

He’s forming perseverance.

Keep going.

You’re doing better than you think.
