Saved and Serving!

Hello friends!  Thank you to everyone who is praying for this ministry.  As always, we are praying for you.  Also, thank you for your posted comments on Facebook and the emails!  We appreciate your feedback.

I had a conversation recently with a young woman who reminds me so much of me when I was her age.  She has settled into motherhood (with three children) and sometimes feels isolated and unfulfilled.  Well, I understand exactly how she feels.  For those of us who are older, we know very well how quickly this season will change.  Children grow fast!  But for this young woman, the season of close mothering and being home bound is right here, right now.  She needs prayer and communication with other people.

A solution found in the word of God:  find someone to serve other than those in your own household.  The Proverb 31 Woman extended her hands to the poor.  You would think that with all she had to do and take care of, she would not have enough time to reach out to the needy.  She made time.

There is something that is so edifying and fulfilling about serving someone who has no expectation of you.  It doesn't take much to invest a little into someone else.  Remember, most of us are busy but busy doesn't mean you are serving.

Loving U like a Sister,

Regina
