Welcome to Messages for Moms. I started this very special section so I could share encouraging and uplifting messageswith other Moms and Grandmothers. I believe that a Mom's heart is special-whether you have adopted, gave birthor are a caregiver for others. We nurture and love those around us day in and day out-often forgettingto nurture our own bodies and spirits. I hope you will come away encouraged.
