“WE WISH ALL THE MOTHERS A BLESSED AND HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY IN JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME, AMEN!”
MOTHER, THE GREATEST TREASURE
The deepest affection a husband can show to his wife is to accept her wholly and love her purely.
Purity of heart is the noblest inheritance and humility the fairest ornament of women.
