thought for the week
PROVERBS 16: 1-3
The preparations of the heart
belong to man, But the answer of the
tongue is from the Lord.
All the ways of a man are pure in his
own eyes, But the Lord weighs
the spirits.
Commit your works to the Lord,
and your thoughts will be established.

Welcome Visitors. You are our honored guests!
HOW GOD CREATED MOTHERS
God took the fragrance of a flower,
The majesty of a tree,
The gentleness of morning dew,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The beauty of a twilight hour,
The laughter of the rippling brook, and
The grace of a bird in flight,
God then fashioned from these things,
A creation like no other,
And when His masterpiece was through
He called His masterpiece … MOTHER
Her children arise up, and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Proverbs 31:28
