Rest is Not a Reward. It's God's Command - Mark 2:23-28 (NLT)

A beautiful Mother’s Day message shared by mother and daughter 🤍 Together, these stories remind us that motherhood is not only about giving birth. It is also about covering, praying, sacrificing, nurturing, guiding, staying, and trusting God every step of the way.

Put it in the basket… and remember, God is already in the river.
