"Life is the constant tug of war between unspeakable joy and tragic sorrow. Today is no different... in fact, today, may be one that plays it out best. In our sanctuaries this morning there are women celebrating being mothers and having mothers... this is hard. So this is for the orphaned, the barren, the broken and the wounded... You, my beautiful friend were CHOSEN by God to be a LIFE GIVER. For some perhaps not physical life... but you bring life into this world through who you are in HIM. You bring life by bringing beauty, skills, gifts, a smile, a touch, words of hope and encouragement, serving, empathy and sympathy, birthing new ideas, businesses. Or art... you bring relief to a fellow sister who silently aches... YOU are a life giver fashioned in the image of the One True LIFE GIVER! Our Creator! Breathe deep dear one, Hear His song as He sings over you, His Creation! Happy Life Giver day to you! And thank you to those MANY LIFE GIVERS who have spoken and given and poured into others lives over the years...”
