Ten Commandments of a Christian Mom

It’s sometimes tough being a mom because we want the best for our children, but many times we fall short in our attempts. Yet, through the grace and mercy of God—He equips us with everything we need to be the moms God wants us to be for our children. Check out the Ten Commandments for being a Christian mom:
