My mother and I stopped at an Amish farm for eggs. During our time there, I visited with the farmerβs wife about adoption, sharing things that my mother and I had not previously talked about. When we left the farm my mother said, βYou are a missionary.β It was because of my willingness to share the love of Jesus with another person that prompted her to recognize this. All LWML women are missionaries! Always be ready to share your love of Jesus with others. You never know whose life you will touch.
But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15).
