This weekend, our country honors Mothers.
I want to extend that "honor" to a host of women God has used in my life; too many to name them all, but these stand out. My Grandmother--who stood in the gap for me, my mom who loved and raised me; my "little" sister who shared my childhood with me; an Aunt who rescued me and cousin who was a "big-sister" to me; "Mom's" who took time to invest in me like I was their son; teachers who brought out the best in me; my mother-in-law who was a part of my life for 42 years; my daughter, an inspiration for me; friends who've believed in me, encouraged me and stood with me through the intersections and storms of life; partners in ministry who've shared a common vision with me.
All have prayed for me.
You are a tapestry of faithfulness and virtue. Thank you for the part you've played in making my life better, and me a better man.
