What can the Holy Spirit do?
It’s a question I asked my Sunday School teacher when I was a young girl. I think I was in either 5th or 6th grade when I asked her this question.

Isn’t it interesting how some of the simplest things can be the most exhausting? And yet, how much stronger we become by doing these simple and exhausting things that will help us carry the weight of our bodies…..
I remember my Mother every year on Mother’s Day. I don’t get to visit her anymore or pick up the phone to call or send a card or buy her flowers or make her something special. But my Mom was certainly a very special mother.
