The Strength of Women



I had the privilege this weekend of serving at an event called "A Single MOMent". This was an event sponsored by our local Christian radio station and our church. Single moms were nominated by their family, friends by sending in a story about them and the radio station was able to read the stories and choose about 50 moms to take part in this event. The goal of the day was to pamper these moms and give them a day to enjoy to themselves.

My role was to be a hostess for two of the moms and hang out with them during the day. There were massage therapists, a health fair, hair stylists, facial make overs and other wonderful things for these special single moms to do.

I was so blessed by spending the day with these two women. Their strength and love for God is beautiful. They give of themselves tirelessly to their children without the help of a spouse and find such strength for God. I needed to be challenged and God knew that I needed these women in my life!

Proverbs 31:29-31

There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
but you surpass them all!”

Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.
