Remembering our Mothers today leads to many memories. My parents, pictured above, were godly parents as I described in my book, I've Always Been Rich. What a rich heritage my mother and mother-in-law left for me and my husband. I pray I expressed my love and adoration for them while they were still living. Sometimes those memories grow fonder as years go by and the positive aspects of their lives become the more prominent memories. And that is okay. But as imperfect as our lives as mothers are we still appreciate hearing "I love you" on special days. God has blessed us with 6 children and we do appreciate the thoughts sent to us on this special day.
A gift my husband gave me this Mother's Day was a plaque with the first verse of Psalm 27 written on it. He knows that Psalm has special meaning for me as I read that to my dad, it was his special Psalm, on the day he died. What memories that Psalm brings to mind every time I see it. The first verse reads like this, "The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid?"
I may not get a blog out every week as we will be traveling to visit family and seeing some wonders of this great creation. I am still active with my book, the latest way is going to different church groups and Christian Women Connections speaking about it. I am really enjoying the interaction with people throughout the area as we identify with my lifestyle of long ago and with the salvation story.
