Do you ever feel like you’re falling behind? Do you feel like that mom has it all together, that couple has real love, or that coworker’s life just seems easier?

In this week’s Gospel reflection from Luke 18:9-14, I put on my Catholic Life Coaching hat and explore what the Pharisee and the tax collector can teach us about comparison, pride, and the freedom of humility.

Learn how God, the greatest coach, calls you to stop looking sideways and start looking higher — to close the gaps not between you and others, but between you and Him.

I hope this episode of Single Mom Smiling encourages you to embrace your fumbling, faithful growth and find strength in humble persistence and God's love which reaches across the chasm to close the only gap that matters.

God Bless...
