Good morning ladies, welcome to Jewels for women, a radio program designed with you in mind.  This is Connie Moland

Hopefully by now you know the real purpose of this radio program is to encourage you as a woman in your daily faith walk.  The desire to encourage and build you up is a passion within my heart that never fades.  I can’t tell you how much I enjoy preparing these devotionals for your benefit.

My third grade teacher whom I still keep in contact with sent me an email the other day.  She’s a dear Godly woman, who affected my life for life!  Here’s a writing she shared with me:

THE WORTH OF A WOMAN

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideas.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Do you remember what God said after he created when He finished all of His creation and the woman was the last thing He created? He said, “It is very good!”

That for today is Jewels for women, this is Connie Moland.
