So. While you’re looking at your summertime to-do list. Let’s think up some activities you can do with your little princess.

The childless woman today has no easy answers. Sometimes, the best we can do in our anguish is wail and pray. If you’re childless today, remember El Roi, God Who Sees, has His eye on you.

If you are a mom or grandmom, you are deserving of blessing and honor for who you are and for all you do. No matter what your age - single or married - here is a prayer of blessing for you for every good work, every good word, and for every act of love you have ever offered on behalf of the ones you love.

This sweet holiday is a day when children and families can honor the women in their lives who have raised, taught, helped, and poured into them. Although this holiday is not a biblical one, God instructs honor and respect toward mothers (see Ephesians 6:1-3).
