ROSE FOR MOTHER
Mother's Day. I woke up to the smell of coffee and the familiar habit repeated itself, I got coffee in bed. I got congratulations for my mother, even though the children are no longer in the Mother's Day morning choir. A mother's heart gives thanks for this moment and...
The power of Resurrection
Easter is behind and the victory over death is real. Jesus has risen from the dead- He has won death. Hallelujah! In Jesus we too have the resurrection life. Paul’s letter to Romans chapter 6: verses 9-11 says – “…knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies...
