voice she exclaimed: ‘Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the child you will bear!’”

Excerpt:
We’re all older than someone, and it’s always a choice. We can bemoan our fading youth, or we can step into being an encourager, affirming the mission and calling of the younger women around us. We can be like Elizabeth — the older, Spirit-filled woman coming alongside to build the faith of the next generation.
