I offer forgiveness to you. Three words that people fight to say all the time. It could be pride, jealousy, or even anger that causes us not to want to offer forgiveness but we don’t say them nearly enough. Why? How can we learn how to say “I am sorry” and offer forgiveness to those who don’t deserve it? But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While
Divorce is ugly. Talk to anyone who is going through or has survived a divorced and unanimously they will say, even in the best of circumstances, divorce is hard. When children are involved in divorce, the stakes and emotions are even higher.

Singles often lose at the holidays when they have a married sibling in the family. It’s likely that Christmas is
Between Separation and Divorce, there is the: Opportunity to focus on Christ. Do you move forward with divorce? Seek wise counsel. Look to His Word and as 1 Thessalonians 2:16 instructs us, pray continually. Opportunity to grow your relationship with Christ. Dust off your Bible and dig in.

This lie is spread by some who are pro-choice in an attempt for a mother-to-be to feel empowered to chose what God has already allowed.

Unless you have been there, it is really hard to understand. Single parents struggle with so many challenges. Your kids can be sweet, and then sometimes, they can be little terrors.
