Bless her with the graces she needs and which you want to give her today. Help her to feel precious in your eyes today and to know that I love her.

The other fifty percent fund national communications efforts as well as projects in developing countries. This collection connects people around the world to the gospel message. Please be generous today!
Give her strength and courage, compassion and peace. Bless her this day with your love.
