A Mother’s Example

This week’s GirlTalk Book Club question comes from the life of Anna:

Park Day

Every Wednesday morning, several moms from our Sunday School class get together at a local park.  I began going shortly after Hannah was born, not because she particularly enjoyed it, but because it gave me an excuse to get out of the house and be with my friends.  At that time, Hannah was more than […]

“In this circle of friends we have one Father,
