Twenty-Seven years ago today, you answered a noble calling! You became a mom. God gave you to me as my mother. I am truly grateful for you mom. I realize now, being a mother myself, that a great deal of sacrifice takes place. And that the day you give birth to your child is priceless and there is nothing else quite like it!
I want you to know, that from the bottom of my heart I respect you and love you. Your love for me as your daughter is evident on so many levels. Even now that I have my own home, hundreds of miles from yours, you seek to care for me and bless me as much as you are able.
Thank you for raising me to be who I am now. Thank you for being faithful to God's word and for speaking truth to me, even when I don't want to hear it. Thank you for standing by my side when the road has been rocky and I've been difficult to love. Thank you for the example you set in loving others and selflessly giving of your time to those in need. You are a true and faithful friend to many, I have no doubt of that. Thank you for making me want to be a mom!
"Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master." Matthew 25:21
I love you mom. All of these words really don't express how much you mean to me. Thanks for being my mom! I'll leave you with a little verse to encourage you :) I know it will speak to you!
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
Galatians 6:9
