Today is the date my beloved mother went home to be with Jesus 3 years ago. I believe Proverbs 3:5,6 were her life verses. She often referred to them and wrote them in a Bible she gave me when I was a child.
My mom had a deep faith but it wasn’t just about going to church although we did, it was about living in kindness and finding joy in everyday things. The neighborhood kids were always welcomed and sometimes she made us all popsicles and things like that. We had our youth teen meetings there and would sing to guitar music.
I’m so happy for my moms patience with us all and always being so welcoming. She fed us all snacks too!
My mama was a great poet, perhaps I’ll share some of those another time plus I have journals that she wrote prayers and things in.
This morning at church one of my good friends walked up to me and told me I look just like my mother now with my new hair. That’s a good thing to me , my mom was a lovely lady with a great ❤️ heart. The pic above is one day we accidentally dressed just alike when we were going to visit dad at the nursing home so we had to get a picture. Now mom and dad and my sister Gail are with the Lord. Gail just lived to be 2. What a great reunion
What a day it will be when my Jesus I shall see and I look upon His face the one who saved me by His grace, when He takes me by the hand and leads me to the promised land , what a day glorious day it will be ! 🎶 🎵
Your Mom was beautiful! And you mentioned joy very early in your writing. And Joy is the first word I thought of looking at her photos. She just radiates joy. And you look so much like her! These photos are a real treasure.
ReplyDeleteYour mom was beautiful and you really do look like her. Her heart was beautiful too and it's such a blessing to know where she is and that you will see her again!
ReplyDeleteI agree that you do look like your mom, Cheryl! Lovely photos with great memories attached to them!! My mom has been gone since 1995 and I still miss her. Daughters, especially, have special connections with our moms, I think. I know I did. How blessed are we who can look forward to a great reunion one day!!
ReplyDeleteYour mom was beautiful inside and out, Cheryl. Thanks for sharing these memories with us here today. And, yes, you do look like your mom, and that's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
