Because I work in Child Care, the couple of weeks before just before Mother's day we work on making Mother's Day gifts for the children's Moms. We tend to ask the children why they love their Moms and they usually come up with the usual answer; she makes supper, she does the laundry or she gives me hugs and kisses. This one child stated it so simply, she born me and she loves me.
Isn't this why we love God because of what He did for us, that he gave us the opportunity to be a part of his family because of what He did because of His love for ME!

SPIRITUAL MOTHERING
BY SUSAN HUNT
For many churches, women's ministries, and women's Bible study groups, the missing element of discipleship is the interpersonal aspect. Titus 2:3-5 clarifies what mature spiritual relationships between generations of women should look like. Susan Hunt unveils how to put that model into action with stories of biblical and contemporary women who have responded to Gods call, as well as page after page of personal encouragement, practical insight, and ministry-tested how-tos.
