In God&#8217;s word we are called\u00a0<em><b>Ambassadors<\/b><strong>,\u00a0for God<\/strong><\/em>.

Both mistakes and successes are treasures of wisdom. With our confessions, areas where we blew it can be avoided and successes we enjoyed can be passed on. <em><strong>Our experiences are valuable\u00a0<\/strong><strong>gifts to be shared.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I so appreciate the older women in my life who have encouraged both my motherhood and marriage.
