The opening page of the book I am reading reads, “In loving memory of my mother whose strength always amazed me.” When I read that dedication, I wrote a prayer, “Lord, make me that kind of a woman. Show me how. Make your strength my strength and keep me thankful, prayerful, and humble. Amen.”
I was thinking later that the first step to becoming a strong woman is deciding that you are not the center of your universe. No, I do not mean “realizing,” I mean “deciding.”
“Strong women, may we know them, may we raise them, may we be them.”
