Being a mom is the best thing I’ve ever done. I’m so grateful for my son and his family. Being a grandma is the frosting on the cake. What wonderful blessings! This morning, Matt and Nathan are fixing lunch for Dawn and me. Now, how special is that! To all mothers everywhere–you are the most important people in a child’s life and in every heart, there’s a mom-shaped space that no one else can fill.
On Mother’s Day, my mother always wore a corsage of white roses to church. Used to be that was the custom–if your mother was no longer with you, you wore white flowers; if she was still here, you wore red flowers. That tradition has probably flown, like so many.
I think of Mom every day and thank God for her, but especially on Mother’s Day. When I read Proverbs 11:16 about a gracious woman, I think of my mother.
Many daughters have done virtuously; but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the friut of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates. (Proverbs 31:29-31.
