A Valuable Mother

- May 13, 2015

Mothers with courage;

Mothers who pray,

These are the kind

The world needs today.

Mothers who think,

Who study and plan;

Mothers who laugh

As much as they can,

Having the gift

That is better than money--

The habit of seeing

That some things are funny.

Mothers whose faith

Never waivers or falters;

Mothers whose spirits

The world never alters;

Loving the right

And scorning the wrong;

Facing the the problems

Of life with a song.

Mothers whose bravery

Transcends their fears;

Winning the battle

With patience and tears;

Never submitting

To weakness or sin--

Storming heaven's gates

Till the children are in.

Mothers heroic,

Not guilty of whining;

Hands graced with service

And faces with shining.

Mothers of purity,

Virtue and faith,

Steadfast in life and

Triumphant in death;

Looking beyond the

Dark pathway of sorrow,

Seeking a home in

God's joyous tomorrow,

Leading the children;

Pointing the way--

These are the mothers,

The world needs today!

We are forever grateful to the Lord for the wonderful mother He has given to us. She is such an indispensable part in our family and so beautifully exemplifies the type of woman portrayed in the thirty-first chapter of Proverbs. She is all that a mother should be and is our role-model and best friend. It was our privilege to surprise her with a deluxe breakfast--even before the morning Church service--and bestow her with tokens of our love for her. Happy Mother's Day, Mama!!!
