While my mother is no longer with me, she was my best friend. She was unwell most of my life and I grew up learning how to help her and take care of everyone that comes into our lives.
My mother was a big influencer in my life. I learned so many life lessons from her. Not only the cooking, cleaning, laundry, but how to treat people and be kind. She was so wonderful and I miss her every day. Wish I could tell her how much she impacted my life and how much she meant to me!
My mother was a homemaker with five children and also a part time public school teacher her. Yet she always made dinner each night. She was also really good at making holidays special. She enjoyed hosting dinners for friends and extended family. Another special thing she did was to have Warm Fuzzy dinners on occasion for a member of the family. She made that person’s favorite dinner and while we ate each person would say something kind about that family member. Each Friday night was pizza night. We made our own pizzas and then watched a movie . Back then we went to the library to rent a projector, screen and film. It was the real thing!! Afterwards we often played charades. Many times lots of other young people joined us. Everyone was welcomed! My mother was a doer. She put love into action and she still does at 88 years of age, through letter writing and phone calls. I’ve learned that love is not something you just say, but it’s shown by the things you do.
God has blessed me with a Godly women who has come along side me like a mother. She has guided during many hardships, tears, and long nights. I am so very thankful for her love over the years.
My mom has deeply impacted my life. She is strong, she loves her family so well. She loves the Lord and she has continually taught me that generosity yields so much fruit…in your own life and in the lives of those you impact. She makes the best home cooked food in particular sweet and sour chicken. She has always strived to make healthy choices and that has impacted me as well in my journey of health. She is a mama of four and now a grandma of soon to be 11! She has taught me the value in sticking with it in hard seasons. I am so thankful to have a mom who is a rock in our family. She continually brings our family together. I am so blessed to have her as my mom.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity. She laughs without fear of the future.” Proverbs 31
My mom taught me about Jesus, and knowing Him is the most wonderful thing!
She taught me to care about my neighbors. Especially the elderly.
My mom has impacted my life by always being my close friend 💛 i love that now that I’m married and live in a different state we still bond over the phone over homemaking things!
My mama was so precious and so faithful. I like to say that she was like the Lord in this; she was the same yesterday, today and forever.
Ever year, I look forward to preserving summer produce for winter provision~especially tomatoes. I learned to do this with Mama and it keeps me close to her, even though I’m now 71 years old.
Mama had the heart of a homemaker in every way and I thank her for passing that on to me. I honor, love and am so thankful that she was mine.
My mother died young but she kept me beside her and whole heartedly taught me to be grounded firmly in Jesus Christ. She taught me to put God first, to love my husband in every way possible, to see every child as a blessing from God, to serve the orphans and children in need as my own, to treat my body as the temple of the Holy Ghost, and to live each day as if it is my last. Not a day passes without me thanking God for all she did to mold me into what I am today.
James 1:12 comes to mind. Mom has run the race and received the crown of life. She is a winner because of Jesus. Her example encourages me to continue running the race.
My mom is a tremendous support and help to me and my 4 kids! She has went through some health challenges lately and is diligently trying to exercise and take control of her health and diet. I am so proud of her! She is a wonderful lady who loves God and her family! I am so glad to have her as my mom!
My mom has impacted my life through my memories of how she raised me and my siblings with her tender heart and care and gentle spirit. Her faithfulness to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our home was always a safe, warm and welcoming place to anyone who entered. I strive to do the safe for my own family by remembering the example she set for me. Though she was welcomed into the arms of her loving Savior 25 years ago I pray her godly example is evident in the lives of her children and grandchildren even those she never met here on earth.
My mom has impacted my life with her never-ending prayers. I have learned SO much from her example and walk with the Lord. She is also a faithful friend. My relationship with her is the reason I prayed for a daughter! 💕
My mother has impacted my life with her love of being in the kitchen and whipping up delicious food for the people we love the most! Now I love baking for my growing family!!
My mom has been a big supporter and such a help to me. She is a wonderful grandma to my kids and my brother’s kids. She lives a state over from me, so we don’t get to see each other as often as we would like, but I am grateful we see each other monthly or every other month. She makes sacrifices for others and I am grateful she is my mom! She has had some health concerns come up and she has been diligent to exercise and eat healthy diet. I am so proud of her!
Mom and my relationship is a story of redemption, momma came to live with us 4 years ago at age 85. We were never super close due to family issues, but when the Lord asked me to care for her in old age and widowed we obeyed. The 1st year was a bit hard getting her situated and into a routine.after being diagnosed dementia also medically complex we began to settle in,4 years forward the Lord has redeemed our relationship and she grows sweeter by the day,the grace of the Lord is beautifully overwhelming, thank you Lord
