\"\"Good morning Guys and Girls!<\/p>\n

On behalf of all the men here, who forgot that they caused some of the ladies here to be a Mother, I take the privilege to wish all of you Mothers a blessed Day today.<\/p>\n

Give thanks to God for the privilege of a new year to spend with your children, to receive a phone call, an email message, or a surprise visit from those who live away from home, from time to time.<\/p>\n

As you think of yourself to be a Mother, today, remember also the blessedness of God’s love for you, when He flourished your womb that you were able to reproduce–whatever the number of children you have at\u00a0 this time.<\/p>\n

According to the Bible, the woman who was barren in ancient time, took it as shameful–like a curse on her.\u00a0 Some of them, like the woman named Hannah, prayed to God, that she might conceive a son to her husband, who had children with his second wife.\u00a0\u00a0 She promised that she would give that son back to God.<\/p>\n

God answered her prayers, and she did just as she promised.\u00a0\u00a0 She gave that son back to God, he was raised by a priest named Eli.\u00a0 He was the one who observed Hanna praying, but in a whisper, so he accused her of being drunk with wine, early in the morning–can you believe that?<\/p>\n

Hannah’s son’s name was Samuel, the prophet who guided the Kings of ancient Israel, like Saul and David. My own mother conceived 15 times.\u00a0 2 were stillborn and 3 died as young babies.\u00a0 10 of us are alive–8 grown women, with our own children and 2 grown men, only one has a daughter–my beautiful Carlyn, who sings with the Fanatics musical group.\u00a0 I only have one, but I consider myself just as blessed.<\/p>\n

Let us give praise and thanks to God Almighty, because of His great Love for us, through His only begotten Son, His Person of Love, who is Jesus Christ!\u00a0 Amen!<\/p>\n

Have a great day today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good morning Guys and Girls!
