Today I shared a special mother's day message with our church. We visited with 5 mom's from the Old Testament and imagined what they would say to us if we were able to speak with them today. I shared the verses that I believe would be their favorites and a thought that they would share with us if they had the chance. Take some time and check out some the stories of these amazing women and see what you think you can learn from their lives!
