Happy Mother's Day!!

I send my mom a beautiful card a few days ago because I get busy and I didn't want it to be late.....she called me thanking me and I was glad I could make her day. She got to spend a few weeks with me and the time passes so quickly.I don't call my mom and tell her all my problems when she came down she did see how we lived. I've always been close to my mom she has been my best friend. I talk to her almost nightly around 10:00pm. I always tell her I love her. My mom stayed home with us kids until we were older and then she worked as a waitress to help pay the bills. She then started cleaning houses and babysitting for extra monies. I high school she was always there to listen...she always took us where we needed to go and was alot of fun to be with...........in college one of the guys tried to date my mom LOL! My mom was strict but we knew she loved us. She always took us to church and I know she prayed for us to turn out right. We did everyone works and I'm thankful my mom never handed us anything!! Thank you mom,  I love you,Sherry

That's sweet Sherry! My mom has been in heaven for the past 9 years. It has been hard in recent years not to have her to talk to or just hug. Times have been real tough the past four years and I sure could use a mother's hug. She was my greatest cheerleader! I always knew there was at least one person that believed in me.

I wish my boys could have known her longer, but I have many fond memories of my mother! A good Godly woman that would always quote Bible verses to me when I need support. I owe her and my father so much for their Godly training. As my children go through mile stones in their life it is bittersweet, because I can not share it with my parents.

My Mother was a single parent in the late 50's, early 60's before it was cool and commonplace. She worked long and hard hours in the hosiery mill....and was paid every two weeks. I remember walking with her on many occasions to the local cafe, asking the owner to give us a meal and she would pay him on her payday.

She helped as much as she could financially when I went to college, but she was always my rock and encouragement and a strong Christian no matter her circumstances.
Today, she lives alone and regularly attends our church services. I love and appreciate her today as much as ever. And am thankful to Him for placing me in her care.

My mom has been in heaven just a little over a year now.  Last year, sitting next to my dad in church on Mother's Day, I lost it when we sang, "Family of God" - one of my mom's favorite songs.  Later we sang, "The Longer I Serve Him", another of her favorites.  (No, the song leader did not know)

I miss her so much at times.  The past several months have been very trying for my husband and me.  It seems we no sooner get partially recovered from one heartbreak, that another surfaces.  It's those times I really miss my mom, but at the same time, I am so glad she doesn't have to live through knowing some of the past few months. 

Still, her example through almost 60 years of serving the Lord alongside my dad in the ministry has reminding me that I don't have to go through it alone. 

My mom was a rock!    Solid.  Steady.  Firm.
