MOMS IN TOUCH MOMENT
This week we prayed about God being our communicator and ways he guides our lives. We prayed that our children might continue to live in Jesus, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as they were taught and overflowing with thankfulness (Colossians 2:6-7). We also prayed that our children would be firm in their convictions and withstand peer pressure. If you have a moment you might pray the same for your child. Debbie Heggemeier and Moms in Touch International
