A Tribute to My Mother! 

 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.  Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.  She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Proverbs 31:10, 25-28

I think the above verse is applicable to my mom. I  was blessed to have such a mother. I was blessed to be in her life for 47 years. She was a godly mother who tried to instill godly principles in her children. She was a light in our household , the glue that held everything together. A peacemaker my mom was. As a child,  I was always observing my mother and she never tried to steer us wrong. She was an encourager. She taught me to save money early and to pay my bills on time. She was old school and believed that no matter how old you were you should respect your elders. She always worked and instilled that in me so I worked as soon as I was old enough to hold a job. There are so many things I learned from my mom. Patience was not one of them. My mom was very patient, she had to be with the kids she had. I am of the microwave generation I want it now. I want to see my mom now. I want tot hurry through this life so I can see her again. But God is also patient and I have to wait until He says come home.

My dad did not appreciate the jewel he had in my mom.  I don't think my dad really knew how to love. Even though she did not have a great marriage, she was not a bitter woman. There are so many things I admire about her it would take all day and then some to describe it all. So mom, I'll just say, I love you and thank you for bringing me into the world, loving me and supporting me and sharing your heart with me. Til we see each other again.

I'd like to kick this page off with a tribute to my mom Mary, who meant the world to me. Mama was very generous and kind. She always put others needs before her own, especially her children. People who knew her described her as a loyal friend and very wise. I know I learned a lot from her over the years. Mama wasn't perfect, but she was perfect for me. Words cannot express how much I miss her, but I wanted to do something to honor her memory, even if it's something as small as creating this discussion group.

Mom until we see each other again, I will try to live a life that is pleasing to our Lord and to you.
