Acts 16:1 and Hosea 12:6 "Patron of Many" (October 9)

Paul stirs something inside of me in Acts 16:1 when he mentions the women who have worked hard in these difficult days. Phoebe.  Priscilla.  Mary.  Patron of many!  They made something of their lives, no matter what they were dealt.  Imprisoned by bars and wars, by life and strife.  They didn't stop. They lived a life of Returning. They held fast to Love and Justice.  They waited continually for their God ~ Hosea 12:6.  Now to Him Who strengthens those women in that day and those women this day who read this blog.  By the help of your God, Return and Hold Fast.  Every one of you who reads these words are patrons of many.  I know.
