Thoughts on Today's Verse...

When's the last time you praised a godly woman for her life of faith, noble deeds of love, and her demonstrations of grace?
Why not take time to write a note or two of appreciation and share your thanks with several of these godly women today?
Where would we be today without the faithfulness of the godly women in our lives?
Where would we be today without the ministry of women in the ministry of Jesus or the early church?
I can't imagine, and don't want to! Let's tell them today how precious they are to us, our faith, and the work of the Kingdom of God!

My Prayer...

Father, we thank you for the following godly women who have shaped our lives and helped us have genuine faith... (Please pray for several of these women by name!)
God, I thank you for the great women of faith in Scripture who did so much for your people. Help us, your Church, your children of faith, to find every way possible to show these great ladies of faith, courage, giftedness, intellect, and good deeds how much they mean to us and to you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
