Mother's Day

Dear Mom,

              I have been thinking of what gift I could possibly get you for Mother’s Day. I was quickly reminded of all the Wonderful gifts you have given me throughout my life.

  Not only did I get my Singing voice from you, but I also have your tenacity and determination for life.

I remember you staying up late on Saturday nights polishing shoes and ironing clothes so we children could be sparkly clean, and ready for church the next day.

When I was younger you would often remind me “There is NOTHING two can’t do, when one is God and the other is you”. I have repeated this little phrase over and over in my mind when I have felt discouraged or overwhelmed.

While in my "less than perfect" young and tender year’s, I am sure you wonderd if I  ever listened to anything you were saying. ......I was too busy watching everything you were doing.

 You have always been a woman of Faith, Courage, and Integrity. I remember asking you how it is you are always so good. I will never forget what you said. You told me you have a long line of great women who have gone on before you, and you have never wanted to let them down.

You are the least judgmental person I know, and can always see the good in a bad situation. You have never been one to gossip.

Through you I have witnessed, and come to realize that a Mothers Prayer can bring to pass great miracles.

 Of the entire Beautiful Life lesson I have learned from you, the greatest gift you have given me, is the gift of your Testimony.

 So........the gift I am giving to you this Mother’s Day, and every Mother’s Day that follows, is to be the best Mother, Wife, Daughter, and Friend......So that one day I too can pass these same gifts on to my Children.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom

I Love you!
