Day 28 Thankfulness -My Mom

Today I'm thankful for my mother. Today is her birthday. My mom had many obstacles thrown at her when she was just a young parent. She sought The Lord, her family, and the church. She never gave up and always persevered. Mom didn't allow the dark cloud of divorce define the rest of her life. She did right by her children and kept God at the forefront. Beyond that time in her life she found a good, faithful man and although like all marriages, it hasn't been perfect, she has never given up and always let Love win the day. My mom isn't perfect, but because of her faithfulness and salvation in Jesus Christ, there will come a day when she will be...and my guess is that the two wont look that much different. I love you mom and am thankful for you. Happy Birthday!!!

Good Memories:
Backing out of the garage and she ripped the door off the car.

Running over a boy on a bike (his fault) and they called the ambulance for her.

Being drug around the yard by a big dog she was sitting for.

Making me get back on my bike and try again while I was learning to ride even though there were tears and blood.

Driving my car and getting it run over by an eighteen wheeler.

Moving me to college.

Welcoming me home for a week during college when my personal life was in some turmoil.

Always encouraging me in church work.

Making my brother and I feel like we had everything while she was a single mom and we were poor.

Bless you Mom! We will always love you!
