Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

I have always been a bear. So, I am not just the typical mother bear. Something within me longs to help others when I see them struggle.

I will put them on my back of prayer and will provide encouragement. I will fight to keep them safe and to provide what they need.

I give huge bear hugs and pats on the back.

BUT, yes there is always a but, I don’t tolerate an unwillingness by anyone to help themselves. There is only so much anyone can do for another person without it becoming an enabling of poor choices or destructive behavior.

I will love and encourage, but I will also call you out. Tough love some call it. I call it accountability.
