Almost from the moment a female child is born, ribbons play a significant role in her life. As soon as a few twigs of hair can be gathered together, our mothers carefully place ribbons on top of our head! From that moment on little girls, of all ages, have a fascination with ribbon. From dressing up our pony tails to turning birthday packages from plain to gorgeous, ribbons always add a little flair to our lives. In just a matter of minutes, placing a few pieces of curly ribbon on a table turns it from a boring place for a meal to a celebration waiting to happen! A ribbon is a small touch that can be vivid, elegant, colorful, cheerful or exciting.
I’d like to suggest that faith can be like ribbons in our life – part of us from the time someone begins to teach us about the grace and wonder of God. Faith enhances our life like the ribbon adds flair to our hair. It can take us from timid to bold when necessary. Faith causes us to celebrate joy in our life even during tough times. Faith prompts us to help carry the burden for others who aren’t strong enough to carry the load they might be called to bear. Faith creates a desire in us for being more than ordinary and causes us to strive for the extraordinary. Faith sees us thorough the storms of life and directs us to the sun and the rainbows.
Ribbons add so much to a woman’s life. Faith is so important to a woman’s life. Ribbons of Faith is an incredible combination! I pray that through our women’s ministry your Ribbons of Faith will be strengthened. -Vickie Thompson
