Happy Birthday to my mom!!!
"30 Days of Thankfulness"
Day 7
Today I am thankful for the most amazing
woman....my mom! No matter what goes on around me, I can always count on my mom
to show love and encouragement to me. Her selfless attitude and giving spirit
are her trademarks and her love for Jesus flows out of every fiber of her
being. When there aren't words to say, she is quick to offer scripture for
comfort and her wisdom is a treasure. Though she lives alone, her house is
always full because she is a gracious hostess! Providing meals, comfort, Bible
studies, or just a place of respite, there is no other home like my mamas. With
5 children (and their spouses), 14 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild, she
sacrifices so much to always give of her time, her love, and support. She loves
her church and serves faithfully and reaches out to a community that needs
Christ.
My love for Jesus began as I young girl watching
my mom. There was something different about her. There was something that even
in the midst of such a hard life, she radiated beauty and joy. What I found was
JESUS! At 6-years-old, my mom shared that Jesus with me and my life was forever
changed!
She truly is the hands and feet of Christ in
this world and not a day goes by that I don't thank my God for the incredible blessing
of that precious soul....my mom!
"Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who
fears the Lord, she shall be praised."
Proverbs 31:30 (NKJV)
