Mom's

Posted Saturday, August 4, 2007, at 6:34 AM

Today would have been my mom's 63rd birthday ,but she went home to be with the Lord Thanksgiving weekend 3 years ago ,and in a strange sort of way it has finally sunk in ,she's gone.Me and the rest of my family have never really gotten along ,but me and mom was always tight.She would call me when I needed somebody to talk to ,she would hold me when I needed holding.But I think most of all she just prayed for me everyday .God instilled something in them that nobody else has and that is a well of unlimited love.No matter what you do or say they love you just the same .I couldn't see it until I became a father and watched my wife with my two daughters ,she just knows what to do and when to do it.I never got a chance to say goodbye to mama ,because she was in a coma for the last 3 weeks of her life ,but she gave me the greatest gift ever.As she was laying there grasping her last breath I went in and talked ,cried,laughed and all she did was breathe.I said I was sorry for all the things that I had done or not done ,all the times I made her cry.One tear rolled down her cheek ,that was all the answer I needed for I knew right then that God had forgiven her of her transgressions as she had forgiven me.Don't go though life with unforgiveness for it is like a cancer ,it will tear and eat at you soul and heart.We are all God's children and he loves and will take us back ,if we ask him ,love him ,and forgive others as he forgives us.He instilled that love in mom's to show us what love is ,no matter our faults ,shortcomings or whatever ,they love us .I used to hold grudges ,but not anymore ,life's to short.So to my readers I just want to let you know there is no hard feelings and never was for God loves you and I love you in God .When Jesus was asked how much he loved us ,he stretched out his arms and died .Now that is unadulterated pure love ,we all fall short of that ,but he loves us anyway .BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING!HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM THIS IS YOUR BIRTHDAY PRESENT YOUR PRAYERS HAVE FINALLY BEEN ANSWERED.

When my great grandmother passed away all 6 of her children were standing around her bed holding hands and singing hymns. What a blessing that must have been for my grandma! I have been so blessed with loving Christian women in my life as role models. I had walked down that big wide road before making the best decision of my life by accepting the gift of salvation thru our Lord Jesus Christ. My great grandmother was already with Jesus when this happened but I could picture her jumping up and down with joy for me! I remember her always kneeling by the bed in the guestroom praying with me when I would stay the night with her. She even taught me a new line in my childhood prayer that I have since taught my children.

My grandma, her daughter, was overjoyed when I called to tell her what had happened. I couldn't stop crying as we talked about it and when I apologized for crying she told me to not worry cause all babies cry when they're born!

What precious memories you have of your mom... thanks for sharing :)
