A Tribute to Mom
Besides Jesus, perhaps there is no dearer friend you will have in this world than your mother. The love of your mother began before you were born, and it continued throughout all of her lifetime. If you had a good mother, I know that you will appreciate this article. If you did not, may you learn from her mistakes, and be a better parent yourself. May this article inspire each of us to be a better parent!
She carried me under her heart, loved me before I was born, took God’s hand and walked through the “valley of shadows” that I might live. She bathed me when I was helpless, clothed me when I was naked, fed me when I was hungry, rocked me to sleep when I was weary, and sang to me with the voice of an angel.
She held my hand when I learned to walk, suffered with my sorrow, laughed with my joy, glowed with my triumph, and while I knelt at her side, she taught me to pray. She was a loyal friend when others failed.
To those of you who have faithfully discharged the duties of a Godly mother, God bless you! Your example of goodness, self-sacrifice and love has blessed us for a lifetime! May we follow your good examples and bless our present generation, as well as generations yet to be born!
Through all the days of my youth, she gave me strength for my weakness, courage for my despair, and hope for my hopeless heart. She prayed for me whether the day was flooded with sunshine or saddened by shadows. I can never repay the debt I owe to my mother.
