International Women's Day

I'm thinking today about the "great cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12:1) and the "communion of saints" -- all the wonderful women who have influenced my life!

Aunt Esther
Mama
Aunt Joann
Mrs. Bamford
Mrs. Smith

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

The thought of these women cheering me on from the stands as I run this race of life (as step-daughter, sister, wife, mother, officer, friend, cousin, neighbor) gives me great encouragement!
