My Mom

I had the rare privilege of taking my Mom to church today. Even better yet, was saying a word for her for Mother's Day.

She has such a servant heart. She wore herself out giving to us through the years. Her hands, that once cooked meals, crocheted doilies, did laundry, washed dishes, now are crippled with arthritis. Her eyes, that read many stories, are now growing dim.  Her ears, that listened for many a cry, cease to hear much at all. Her knee, that helped her walk many a mile, threatens to give way. Her brain, that helped her do the many tasks of the day, has forgotten and gets confused.

Now her heart is sad for she feels like she can't do anything. On the other hand, my heart is glad because finally I get a chance to serve her! She is my mother and no matter what she can or can't do, I will always love her!

And...in case you wondered...she means the world to me!

What a beautiful tribute to your mother! Thanks for sharing your love for her! She is a wonderful, precious person, and in her I can see Jesus and His love shining forth. I am thankful too for how you seek Christ, and strive to understand and grow closer to Him, and help others to do likewise by what you post. Janell
