     | 11,819 views

    Mothers shape our children who in turn shape our world. That's a lot of responsibility but God has seen fit to entrust it to women. A Mother’s work is never done and for that reason many wise mothers point us to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith

    Mother’s Day 2018 Mother’s today are the most courageous people I know of. They face a world that treats them and their contributions with contempt and indifference. We see the government removing the word “Mother” from official documents and replacing it with the words “Parent One”. Well at ...read more

    The Apostle Paul did not write 365 thank-you notes. But he did write about one-half of the letters that make-up the New Testament. And Paul’s letters overflow with thanksgiving.
