Welcome!

Welcome to Strength for Today, Bright Hope for Tomorrow! My goal, and the purpose of this blog, is to encourage young women in their daily life and their walk with God. The wonderful hymn Great Is Thy Faithfulness, which contains the line “Strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow”, has become a favorite of mine as God has given me strength each day to follow Him, and the bright hope for both my earthly future and eternity in Heaven. As Christ brings me strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, I hope you find it as well. Great is HIS faithfulness!

Mother, a Gift from God

Mother, a Gift from God
Words by J. Paul Williams

A mother is a gift from God,
Her voice is music to the ears.
A mother is a gift from God,
She gently wipes away each tear.
She takes the time for girls and boys,
She makes the sacrifice to bring her children joy.

God is working through her to teach us how to live,
God is working through her to show us how to give.
Teaching us to walk by faith,
Keeping our feet on solid ground,
God is working though her, love is her finest crown.

We can see God’s gift of grace in the way that she forgives,
We can see God’s gift of love in the way that she lives.

God is working through her to teach us how to live,
God is working through her to show us how to give.
Teaching us to walk by faith,
Keeping our feet on solid ground,
God is working though her, love is her finest crown.

God is working through her, love is her finest crown!


Happy Mother’s Day!

Isn't that beautiful?! It's a song the chior sung for Mother's Day several years ago. I just love it!
