The Power of a Godly Mother
Dear mothers, never underestimate the influence you have over your children’s future. Teach God’s words diligently to your children (Deuteronomy 6:7). Speak His promises over them. Place His Word as a gate over your home (Deuteronomy 6:9).

Just Say the Word
I fear that we sometimes forget we serve a holy God. Yet this holy, righteous God bestows grace upon grace. He does not do it because we are good or do good works, not because we have rank or power, not because we merit any good thing from His merciful hand. He does it out of pure love.

It’s All in How You Look at it
Perspective; it’s the difference between what our eyes perceive and what God sees from an eternal viewpoint. We see the bad news; the wages of sin is death. Yet from God’s view, there is a wonderful promise that wipes the bad news clean off the slate; the gift of God is eternal life.

Entrusted to Him
I tend to fret when my sons are away from home. Having a special-needs child exacerbates those concerns. Yet, I am slowly learning that I can’t love, protect, and provide for my sons as well as their heavenly Father can. My love is limited. His love is eternal, unfailing, and unconditional. My resources may come to an end, but God’s will never run out. My ability to protect is inadequate, but God never takes His eye off them. He watches over them everywhere they go, every second of every day. There is not one moment they are not held in God’s loving hand. So, instead of being a parent who paces, I’ve chosen to be a parent who prays.
