A Mother's Living Legacy
Doug Tegner
At least this one day a year, we need to stop and consider the Unique and Vital role that God has given to mothers and mothering...especially in our day when scores of voices are shouting for women and mothers to abandon the priority of caring for children with unrushed attention.

More and more feel they are giving out alot more than they take in.
