Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth says women can nurture life in a variety of ways.

Childless women, whether married or single, can do so much to support the parenting

ministry of others in the body of Christ.

Nancy doesn't know we're using this story, but it illustrates the point perfectly. It comes from the

co-author of Lies Young Women Believe, Dana Gresh. She was visiting Nancy's home while they were

preparing to write the book together. This was many years ago when Nancy was still single.

Dana tells the story. I've been given this picture into Nancy's

quiet life, her private life, and she is the same woman, if not a deeper woman in quiet.

When she talks about true womanhood and says that a woman should be hospitable, it would be easy

for her as a single woman not to have to do that.

But when she's had me sleep over at her home once, she tucked me into bed with a prayer.

You know, that's mentoring and mothering and nurturing at its best in a quiet place where nobody

else sees it and nobody else needs to know when

she's had groups of us over for dinner she'll take time the night before to research what our

names mean to make placards and to speak truth into our hearts which is again a very mothering

nurturing thing to do so what she she's teaching, she's living.

Thousands of women have added their names to the True Woman Manifesto. You can read it and

add your name to it at revive our hearts.com. That document includes this line. Children are a

blessing from God. Women are uniquely designed to be bearers and nurturers of life, whether it be their own

biological or adopted children or other children in their sphere of influence.
