The apostles were an eclectic group of 12. My sisters and I are a diverse group of four. Who do you have among your group of Christian sisters? Do you have a lot of things in common, or are you a unique group?
A rose bush does not have all of its roses budding at the same time. Part of the beauty of the bush is the bud barely blooming next to the full-bodied rose in full bloom.
Which rose are you in your community? In our Christian community, there are people of different ages, stages, and walks of life. And therein lies the beauty.
Another beautiful facet of a diverse community is that we can grow and learn from one another. The small groups with whom I have participated, and through which I have been blessed the most, are the ones that have a diverse group of women gathering together to deepen their relationships with God and with one another. I like to call them Iron Rose Sisters.
What is an Iron Rose Sister?
An Iron Rose Sister is a Christian sister who serves as iron sharpening iron (Prov. 27:17), encouraging and inspiring others to be as beautiful as a rose in spite of a few thorns.
So, in answer to today’s question of WHO for small groups? The answer is anyone! We grow most when we are stretched out of our comfort zones, and when we hear the perspectives of others. We are blessed when we are given the opportunity to bless others.

At Iron Rose Sister Ministries, we value our mothers—whether a mother by birth, an adoptive mom, foster mom, or a spiritual mother. We all have mothers in our lives and whether or not you have been blessed to be a mom by giving birth, by adopting or fostering a child, we are all called to be a community of mothers in the spiritual sense. Mentoring, discipling, encouraging... Iron Rose Sisters are spiritual moms and we want to honor you!
Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 14, and we want to give you a few ideas about how you can honor your mother and bless IRSM at the same time.
• Our Rose Cards are a great way to honor a spiritual mom by making a donation in her honor to support our growing Intern Program. You can mail her one of these cards, which represents a family tree of roses or your relationship as Iron Rose Sisters. These 4x6 cards can be framed, or sent in the mail—either way, you’ll be able to include a personalized, special note.
• Choose Iron Rose Sister Ministries as your charity of choice on Amazon Smile. (This blesses the ministry for purchases beyond Mother’s Day.) Just click on this link and make any future Amazon purchases at smile.amazon.com. A portion of your purchases will go to IRSM at no additional cost to you!
• Purchase an interactive Bible study book and/or an IRSM mug as a gift.
Thank you for your prayerful support of Iron Rose Sister Ministries and for giving us the opportunity to honor a special mom in your life as well.
