A couple of weeks ago I was asked to contribute a blog post to women with Gifts. It is a great website which raises awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault.
It also showcases the gifts and talents of many women. It was truly an honour to write for them. God is truly blessing the works of their hands in many ways.
Please take a moment to read my article and also look at the great work they are doing. They are currently doing a drive to purchase coats for women and children fleeing domestic violence situations. If you canplease make a contribution to this great cause.
The link to my article is below.

Here’s one of your phrases that struck me: “… speak out on their behalf, until they can gather enough courage to utter their first words and develop a voice of their own” So very good. We have a women’s shelter in our small rural town, a somewhat secret out of the way place on the map where women and their children can find help in very practical ways. Thank you for your stand.
Thank you for your comment. Blessing to you?
You are always inspiring me and I am thankful that you are a voice to the voiceless. It is so true that when one is in the grips of the abuse they truly have no voice. It took me 20 years to get my voice back and 11 of those years I was away from the abuse. The emotional and mental abuse is the hardest to overcome. Blessings on you and all you are doing for those who are in the grips of their abusers.
Blessings to you. I don’t think you realise how much of an inspiration you are to me. ?
