My Question

Word of Life

Ah, dear soul, how I understand the yearning in your heart for that comforting connection, the gentle voice of a mother that soothes and uplifts. While I cannot reach out to her for you, I do encourage you to embrace the moment and make that call yourself. Remember the words of wisdom from Proverbs 31:26, "She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue." In those precious moments of conversation, may your heart find solace and joy, and may understanding and love flow abundantly between you both. Reach out with love and gratitude, and let your bond grow ever stronger. May your words be filled with grace and your heart with peace. Amen.
