As we begin our summer study of THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN: Separating Truth from Tale, please join me for the first of many weeks in thanking God for the W's!.
Father God,
We are so grateful that You have made each of us WOMAN! Thank You so much for considering us to be of great value - WORTH! We are so proud of You! You are the GREAT I AM! You are above all other gods and we know that full well. And we can call You Abba (Daddy).
.
Because of Jesus, we are family,
Amen

It's amazing to look at the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. I love the whole story...but just focus with me, starting with verse 19, for a minute:
.
"And he got up and came to his father.
But while he was still a long way off,
his father saw him,
and felt compassion for him,
and ran and embraced him,
and kissed him.
And the son said to him,
'Father, I have sinned
against heaven and in your sight;
I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
But the father said..."
.Let's get started answering the question of the week:
- "Why do so many women feel so worthless?"
.
Sometimes it does reflect our upbringing...environment...personalities... For some of you, it is almost impossible to picture a loving running father. So, today it is provided here for you.
.
Two "transformed moms" who come regularly to this blog, Vanessa and Cristi, worship with the Fairfax church of Christ near DC. Their church family made a video for this Father's Day weekend. Vanessa's husband and daughter are in the video. Be sure and pause the playlist above before pushing play on the video below.
.Consider the WORTH of the children pictured in this video... what is their WORTH in the eyes of their fathers? Consider your WORTH in the eyes of your heavenly FATHER.

Patti and Vanessa, the father's day video is AWESOME! loved it! thank you for sharing - I hope everyone sees this!
Thanks for sharing this video! It made me think of one of our family stories. This past Memorial Day weekend, Matthew got to come to SC to spend the weekend with us. Lexi did not let go of him all weekend and smiled the whole time because he was here. The Tuesday after Memorail Day, Matthew was goone but Lexi didn't realize it. When I pulle dher out of her pack and play, she looked over at our bed and smiled a huge smile across her whole face and waved to the empty bed. I know she thought she was going to get to see her daddy. Before she could realize that he was missing I got her distracted with a toy and songs. This mother's hear tbroke, but it also glowed. How special is the father and child bond!?!?!
Yeah, I won! That is exciting! Thank you.
