Refuge for a Single Mom

Not so long ago, I made one of my ‘famous’ observations …

Be happy with who you are in Christ.  (Not to be confused with limiting yourself, minimizing your possibilities or, adversely, becoming an ego maniac!)

And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.  Philippians 1:6

A very dear friend, and the author of Small Business Moms’ Blog turned me onto the following list.  Spend some time with it this weekend and realize just how precious you are!  (((hugs)))
