Have you not heard the quote that; “To the world, you are a mother. To our family, you are the world.”? The Huffner’s notion that “The art of mothering is to teach the art of living to children.” is a reminder that mothering in a real sense is more related to parenting than any other. One could send several sweet messages to a mother in every celebration that calls for it, but the emphasis should be on lessons for proper…
Haley Stewart said: “The act of creation is not done alone. Two parents must participate in creating a child. An artist must collaborate, as well.

The possibility of the local area comes from the awareness of certain expectations we have for one another. In the Book of scriptures, God urges us to deal with our siblings and sisters – regardless of whether or companions or adversaries!

Sophie Scholl said: “People shouldn’t be ambivalent themselves just because everything else is, yet one constantly meets the view that, because we’ve been born into a world of contradictions, we must defer to it. … If it were so, how could one expect fate to make a just cause prevail when so few people unwaveringly sacrifice themselves for a just cause? I’m reminded of an Old Testament story that tells how Moses raised his arms in prayer every hour of…
1. “Having the glory of God, its radiance like a rarest jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.” 2. “They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him.” 3. “There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.” 4. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood,…

It remains inviolable, even in those who feel that they are lost in their rottenness. No matter how badly they have ruined their lives, this jewel remains in them; it is as certain as that God was reconciling the world to himself in Jesus Christ. There is something in each person that will never be lost, something that…
1. “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. Then all the people said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord.” 2. “To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” 3. “And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen, blessing and glory…
Yes, there are prayers and prayers! Have you not heard that your prayer’s space needs the ever filling of, and with Amen? Mostly, we remember to pray against human enemies; what would that change if we don’t know the goodness of God towards us daily.
