Inspiring Lessons From Women of the Bible
March is Women’s History Month. The United States has observed it annually since 1987. The purpose of Women’s Month is to remember the contributions of notable and ordinary women in our culture and society.
History helps us learn who we are. Recognizing the achievement of women has a significant impact on girls and young women. Many women have endured hardships in their lives. Whether it results from personal or professional experiences, the ability to overcome any obstacle can lead to greater strength.
Faith in Christ is often passed down through the generations. Faithful mothers raise their children using biblical principles and grandmothers play a crucial role using the wisdom they have gained throughout their life.
