A tribute to my mother=
Mom, what a sensational mother you were.
You loved all your children. Equally.
You were part of something that is missed by most children today. You were a praying mother.
I remember playing outside in the backyard as a lad---a neighboring boy asked: "What is your mother doing?" And I answered matter-of-factly: "She's praying." You had the window wide open (like Daniel) and you were praying for your children, husband, friends, neighbors, our world, etc. I remember that happening many times.
Most sons and daughters haven't had the privilege you provided for your children. Your prayers were not "emergency prayers", but a way of life for you.
I remeber you and Daddy taking us to Church twice on Sunday---walking three miles each way. Then off to prayer meeting on Wednesday evenings.
I remember the family altar you provided. We had a chapter of the Bible read, knelt down and each took their turn praying. What a heritige you gave us.
Mom, you wouldn't believe what our world has become like these days. I am grateful God placed you in the generation that He did.
Mom, you are missed---but we passed the baton on to our children and they now have the responsibilities of providing a Godly heritige to their children and grandchildren.
God has blessed us with a long good life---we miss you, but know you are enjoying sensational fellowship in God's presence.
Thanks again for being an outstanding Mom---and---for staying with the same husband for nearly 60 years---"Til death do us part"---we're working on the same marriage ourselves---
Lovingly
Your youngest son |
