Text of excerpt, if available
“Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Let me read an excerpt from a card a received this this week. “Back in the 80’s I as a single mom with four children living paycheck to paycheck, often not knowing where my next dollar was going to come from. Along with that, my son had a major breakdown and was hospitalized with a diagnosis of Schizophrenia. I suppose I am sharing this with you because I have so much compassion for all who are now in financial need, and feeling lonely, afraid, and often hopeless. I have been there. After paying my bills,” she continues, “I have $200 left from my stimulus check. Please use it where there is the most need.” Today is Mother’s Day. This single mother took care of her children. Today, as she lives through another crisis, her motherly heart continues to care. I believe that it is through mothers that God most closely says to us, “Do not let your hearts be troubled!”
