Wives and Mothers
The movie, Courageous, concluded with a Resolution For Men, however, the companion books continued with resolutions for woman and teenagers.
These proposed resolutions suggest that woman devote themselves to making and keeping pledges that lead to becoming greater Christians. These life changing promises will bring more blessings and joys to life in pursuit of being God's best. Women will understand that these resolutions involve discipline and self-sacrifice. They allow the Word of God to nurture and take control of their lives. There will be a deep impact on the lives of the ladies that agree to this commitment.
These resolutions will also have a positive impact on the families. These are life changing resolutions with God and are principles that He has already established. He is always calling and challenging us towards growth to make our lives more fruitful.
Our desire should be to leave a legacy of faith, compassion, gratitude, perseverance, forgiveness, patience, and love, all carefully crafted and then purposefully passed on to the next generations.
