My Mama

Abraham Lincoln:
All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.

When I saw this beautiful quote I immediately thought of my "Angel Mother". I believe it to be true and live by this truth every day, as mothers we are molding our children by example. As a young girl I know that I did not always appreciate what my mother was, but as I have become older and a mother myself I am so thankful I had her. There is another quote that I am reminded of that says, "Having children makes you no more a parent than having a piano makes you a pianist." This is so true in today's world!! People are so eager to have children and yet so uninspired to help them be the best they can be. My mother if you know her is beautiful inside and out! She is real, and honest and so loving. She is a true Christian, and she is faithful in all aspects of her life. If their ever was a lady she is. This was my example. As I begin to think back, my mother growing up didn't have a lot of material things but she had a beautiful mother also who molded her into the woman that she is. I am far from perfect but I truly believe that my mothers actions and character have directly affected the woman that I am today. That's not to say that I will always do the right thing or that I will not fall flat on my face, by my compass is pointing in the right direction! I will continue to walk in truth and give my babies every opportunity to know Christ and the difference he can make in their lives! I will one day be held accountable for what I passed down to my babies. Lord please give the the strength and wisdom that you gave my beautiful mother. Thank you Mom for being all that you are, I am so grateful!
