On this Thankful Thursday I am thankful for my mother. I am truly blessed to have the mother the Lord chose for me.
Without her, I would not be the woman that I am today. I would not be the mother to my children that I am today. And I would not be the wife that I am today. She taught me and showed by example how important it is to have a relationship with the Lord, how to be a godly mother, and how to be a godly wife.
She has ALWAYS loved me unconditionally. She has continued to love me and support me thru all the struggles and celebrations of growing into adulthood (and trust me, I wasn't always that easy to love... particulary during those teen years). I can ALWAYS turn to her for advice, assistance, prayer, or just as someone to listen to me when I need to talk.
And not only does she love me unconditionally, but she loves my family unconditionally. Before we even married, she began treating my husband as if he were a member of the family. She is the BEST Grammy to my children. She prays for my husband and children as she has for me all my life. They each know they are truly loved by her as she shows it and tells them regularly.
Thank you, Lord, for the gift you have given me in my mother!

How wonderful to know that you have a mother who is praying for you and your family.

motherhood also! How absolutely wonderful to be so blessed and to have a Thankful Thursday to honor your mom with your words of tribute! Happy Mother's Day to you both! Enjoy the love of the Lord!
Melanie,
Beautiful words about your mother! I know I don't tell my Mom often enough how I much I love her.
I posted the thoughts about the taxi driver because I also felt that at times I too probably had failed. I feel God wants more from me. I'm striving for a better me!
Blessings!
What a wonderful tribute for your Mom! Mom's are very special. Sounds like you had a great example to follow. Thanks for sharing. Happy TT~
Melanie,
This is a wonderful tribute to your mom. I posted about moms too.
Have a great weekend. Love and hugs, Lynn
What a beautiful tribute to your mom! Blessings to both of you!
I wish my children will write like that for me , one day. God bless you, your mother and your family.
Beautiful! I have always felt that about my mom as well and it is such a huge blessing when you begin to hear that from your young adult daughter! My cup runneth over.
What a wonderful tribute! My mom is Grammy too! Have a wonderful Mother's Day. And thanks for visiting me yesterday!
What a sweet tribute to your mom! You know, I don't think that most of us where very lovable during our teen-years (I know that I wasn't :))
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us.
Be blessed today and always...
