28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. – Proverbs 31:28-29 (KJV) [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10164349006724464&set=gm.1480623082957818&idorvanity=531141674572635] https://blackforestproject421.blogspot.com/2026/03/tauferische-kopfbedeckung-und.html |
For this year’s 2026 Mother’s Day, I will post several sermons by different Anabaptist ministers, they all did a good job.
I will also post a 2023 video from Mennonite Mom, a Conservative Mennonite mother on YouTube where she interviewed ten mothers on motherhood. I will also post the latest video from Catherine Pakaluk, author of Hannah's Children: The Women Quietly Defying the Birth Dearth.
If I were to substitute the word, ‘Amish’ for Mennonite and Hutterite, I feel it is similar, as they all follow the four core values.

“Children are a blessing; they are a kind of a wealth. God says in the Scriptures that children will bless you even if they don’t feel like a blessing immediately. And we really believe that and our experience has confirmed it.” - Dr. Catherine Pakaluk [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.instagram.com/p/DHog0F1T4GO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==] BLOG: https://blackforestproject421.blogspot.com/2025/11/book-review-hannahs-children-women.html BLOG: https://blackforestproject421.blogspot.com/2026/03/babyland-in-israel-israels-baby-boom.html |
