The Gift of Mentors

My family has been an encouragement, blessing, and inspiration to me. What began with my mother and sisters, has been continued by countless women around the world, both known and unknown. They have taught me what it means to be a woman by their example. The richest nuggets have come from those with a deep and lasting relationship with Jesus. Their friendship has been a priceless gift! With these jewels on my heart these words came to my mind:

We are the Women

~

We are the daughters

Free from the world's expectations

Hope-filled, Diligent, Pure

Desiring to reflect Jesus in all things

~

We are the wives

In love with our husbands

Helpful, Respectful, Alluring

Delighted to share life together

~

We are the mothers

Tenderly nurturing our children

Happy, Unselfish, Patient

Preparing our darlings to launch out on their own

~

We are the Grandmothers

Surrounded by admiring grandchildren

Wise, Thankful, Content

Seeking to encourage generations of faith

~

We are the women

Smiling at the future

Industrious, Knowledgeable, Teachable

Confident God will complete the good work He has begun
