Celebrating my Mom's birthday
Here are just a few of the reasons I love her and am proud of her.
She has handled the death of my Dad with grace and faith. Pap had Alzheimer's. She cared for him and loved him till the day he died. And she never doubted where he is or that they will be in heaven together again. Love the example she has set for her kids, grands, and greatgrands.
She is still very active in her church. Visitation, setting up service ministries, working in the clothing room, and fixing food. She is finishing strong.
I love that she will call and ask my advice about how to share Jesus with her friends from Seniorcize class. She is currently sharing her faith with an agnostic non-believer. Love that.
She loves her family. She never fails to ask about every grandchild and great grandchild. She is proud of their athletics, their academics and careers. But she is most proud of their spiritual development.
She is a prayer warrior.
She reads her Bible.
She checks up on any number of sick and home bound.
She gives advice and counsel to any number of friends from church.
So thanks God for a Mom that did more than teach us about Jesus. She is still showing us. And she always gives you credit. So bless her days as she finishes her race faithful and active in your Kingdom.
