Volunteering If you are looking to make a difference in someone's life,I am currently looking for volunteers. Volunteering is
a good way to serve God and to bring joy to others that are going through difficult times. Volunteering is a special gift. And it is badly needed in so many ways that people do not see or realize. People
grow sad and despondent. They may need food to feed their growing hunger because they are too weak and tired to cook
a meal. They may just need to know they are not alone in the world. That they have a friend. Or maybe they
are starving for the Word and would love someone to sit and read to them. There are several ways you can volunteer. I will list those options below. 1. I am looking for donations of decorative stock paper and miscellaneous arts and craft supplies such as small flowers,
lace, satin ribbon, pretty stickers, etc. and volunteers interested in making decorated prayer cards for women,who are
suffering from cancer. For a complete list of materials needed clink on the link below. 2. I am also looking for donations of small lap blankets in various colors and textures for women. They can
be hand-made or store bought. 3. If you would like to visit a cancer patient in a hospital, or home setting, this would be a great opportunity
to witness and to make someone feel special. You might even bring a smile to someone in need. 4. Cook a meal for someone in need who cannot do so by him/herself. 5. Help mentor women who or suffering through cancer. The program is described below. 6. Postage stamps and envelopes for mailing.
Women Mentoring Women If you wish to volunteer your time and energies helping other women, then I encourage you to take the time to read this
message. Women all over the world need mentors. Someone to talk to when things get rough. Someone they know they can count on when
things start falling apart. They need to know someone is out there to encourage them and not judge them. Someone to inspire
them to move forward even though they don’t want to take that next step. You may be wondering how would you go about doing that. Well, it is very simple, really. To become a mentor all you would have to do, is be assigned a woman who needs support in any area of her life. You would
send her encouraging emails with poetry, prayers, interesting articles, inspiring short-stories. Just be a friend to
her. Be there for her when she needs you. Let her know that you can comfort her when she is down, or give her laughter when
she feels like crying, or to just listen to her when she needs to talk. All of this could mean the world to someone who has never know what it is like to have a friend. Some people are all alone
and have no where to turn. They are falling through the cracks of society. Maybe they could turn their life around if only
t hey knew where to turn. With A Rose Among Thorns, we give them that opportunity. If you would like to volunteer or mentor women, please contact me at the email address below. Thank you for your interest.

Today's Woman
by: Rose DesRochers
She is a guide, mentor, mother, nurturer, wife and friend. She is many things to many people. She is Today's woman. She
is a new woman in ever changing new world or is she? She gives and she takes only what is earned. She speaks up even when
it feels uncomfortable. When life gives her lemons Today's woman takes those lemons and makes lemonade or does she? As a woman
today I have the same goals in mind as my mother yesterday. I want just as much to raise and care for my children in a healthy
home environment. The only difference between me and my mother was that she was born in 1932 a time of poverty. By the age
of 12 she was at home raising her brothers and sisters instead of attending school. My mother grew into a woman and took on
the job of mother and wife. My mother never worked outside of the home until my father’s death in 1988. At this time
she was faced with no education, no job experience and was forced back into the work force. She took a job at a factory until
health forced her into early retirement. But she did what she had to do to survive.
Today I want as much for myself and my children as my mother did. However today as women we have worked our way into the
right to vote, to fight for equal pay, to break away from traditional roles but I think we have over stepped our roles. No
longer is Today's Woman concerned with equality but we have pushed our way with a feminist movement that we are now one up
on men.
The abortion movement is one fine example of that. The law allows a woman to take power over a joint decision by aborting
a life made by both man and woman and the man has no say over it. Yet the same feminist are demanding that fathers pay child
support and alimony instead of teaching the single woman to financially support herself. Feminist have created Today's woman
all right, they have trained and molded her to be a victim. I will tell you that there are no victims in life only those who
willingly volunteer to play the role. The sad thing is feminist don't even see how sad and how much of an embarrassment they
are to other women like me. Today's Woman is teaching Today's Woman to take control over something that involves both a man
and woman like abortion and yet at the same time making her depend on her man's money and encouraging the government to give
her special privileges.
Being Today's Woman should mean that you can make a contribution to humanity as a whole. It should be about finding your
passion in life and embracing it with determination and depending on only yourself. Today's Woman has more than equal rights
and she still wants more. She wants to eat her cake and have it to. Come on you have to admit that the feminist way of thinking
is pretty much bios. She wants the same rights as man but accepts a few favors because she has a set of tits and ovaries.
At one time the feminist movement might have actually stood for something, meant something to me as a woman but sadly not
anymore. I was proud to be a feminist when women were shouting and marching up the street take back the night don't be a victim.
But now Today's woman has gone from the nurturing caring mother like my mother was to a bitter resentful woman. Sadly by Today's
woman standards if you are not a woman on the side of the line who believes in aborting the unborn child and taking Daddy
to the cleaners in a messy divorce then you’re not real women.
Today's woman has labeled all women victims. By Today's woman standards there is only one way to think and that is their
way. They have no problem in playing the helpless female role and taking power over man. But lets look at this perhaps it
is man who is really the victim.
There are sadly to many double standards set by Today's woman so maybe I'm yesterdays woman after all living in Today's
World. A mother is perhaps the most noble, important profession in society. Maybe I am just a woman who was born in the wrong
century.
I know a young thirty-four year old single mother who is bringing up five children on her own. She is a woman that I admire
as Today's Woman. She cares about the well being of her family. She struggles daily to uplift her family out of poverty and
provide the best for those children. She made the ultimate sacrifice a mother can, she leaves her children each day to go
to work and provide for them. She doesn't have any daddy in the background paying child support and alimony. She is both mother
and father. She is what Today's Woman should be about. Tammy Chambers is a lady that I greatly admire as Today's woman and
she could certainly teach the feminist movement a thing or two.
