Being a mother is much more than delivering a child. Motherhood is about devotion, selflessness and lifelong commitment. It’s about giving and not getting. It’s about true love—which is always doing what is in the best interest of the one who is loved. It’s about sacrifice—over and over and over. Sometimes it’s even about giving up dreams and aspirations in order to be sure that the needs of children are met.
Let’s deal with a dangerous misconception about marriage and divorce. We often hear something like this: “Half of marriages end in divorce.” That’s an inaccurate and very unhelpful statement to make about marriage and divorce.
Poverty. It seems every politician wants to address it and has ideas for how to alleviate it. Often those ideas involve giving people more money through government-sponsored, taxpayer-funded programs.
In Joshua 4:1-9 we read that after Israel had crossed the Jordan river, a member from each tribe was to take a stone and erect a memorial of their crossing. The stone memorial was to be a generational reminder of God’s miraculous parting of the river so that the people might cross over. The expectation was that children would ask their fathers about the memorial and that fathers would explain what God had done for them as a people.
