For this child I prayed. 1 Samuel 1:27
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward. Psalm 127: 3
Today there is a war on mothers and fathers. The media, government legislation and others are constantly redefining the role of the family. Yet God is the one who established the family and defined it as a man and a woman (Gen. 3:24). Only a woman can carry new life, the life of an eternal soul. This is the fruit of the womb. This is a holy gift entrusted to a mother. There is a cost of motherhood, and the price is no small sum to raise that child for God. Mothers, may God give you that needed grace! —Jim Comte
Bound by the grace Your love imparts.
Make me a mother who follows Your heart.—Claire Cloninger
