Today’s writing was done by Julie’s daughter, Kendal. Kendal graduated from Horry-Georgetown Technical College this month with an Associates Degree in Nursing.

I got my faith from my mother. When I was young, she taught me of a man who laid His life down for another. 

He too had a mother. 

Her name was Mary. I can only imagine how scary. To give birth to a child she knew she would one day have to bury. 

I can think of no greater sacrifice – no greater love – than that of a mother who bore a gift from above. 

I can think of no one more worthy – no one more pure – than the heart of the one who gave her all to answer such a holy call. 

So, I thank God – for both the mom who raised me and for the mom who sacrificed her Son to set me free.
