Mother's Day!

Mother's Day was always a day that Mom enjoyed! My sisters and I would start several weeks ahead of time, deciding what "something special" to do for Mom. We always had a card for her plus other little things. More than anything, she always enjoyed it when all of us were home at the same time.

Mom was a wonderful example to us in everything she did. She taught us from kindergarten through high school, enduring through the tough chemistry, incomprehensible geometry and totally foreign French language. She was always ready to listen and offer advice after a hard day at work. She was constantly praying for us throughout the day.

There is no way I would want her back here on earth compared to where she is now, free from suffering and pain, but I'd love to hear her say one more time, "I'll be praying for you today!"

A Mother's Love

There is no love, like a mother's love,no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,to a mother, when she gives birth.

A mother's love is forever strong,never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,a mother's love will shine.

God bless these special mothers,God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,and for the special work they've done.

When her days on earth are over,a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,with God's blessings on each one.

Be thankful for our mothers,for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,and the strength from up above.
