May 2021
From raising families to first ladies, women have played a vital role in our society. Their contributions to history, culture, the arts, and science are endless. The leading ladies of our past have blazed the trail for the girls of tomorrow, serving as an inspiration for Leading generations to come. As we celebrate this Mother’s Day and reflect on the influential ladies in our lives, we will remember the selfless sacrifice and unconditional love they shared. From Ladies Mothers to Grandmothers, “like a Mother” to Aunts ~ these ladies share a common thread. They shine from the inside out. They light up our lives, share in our joys, give us strength in times of sorrow and warm our hearts with words of praise.

“The Disciples prayed in one accord with
the women and Mary, the mother of Jesus"~ Acts 1:14 Christianity has done great homage to women, by treating them as equal to men. From the choosing of a young teen named Mary, praising women who supported His ministry, and allowing women to be the first to see His resurrected body, Jesus greatly valued the women in His life. Today we must do the same, as without the valuable influences, instruction and sacrificial love of the women God has given us, we would feel far less special and appreciated. God bless you, Chaplain Randy
