Today is the anniversary of my mom's birth. She turned seventy today! How fun is that? I'm just thankful that this year, as she's in Florida, we are in the same time zone! My mom has loved me my whole life. I know this isn't unique for most of us, but for some of my 'new' acquiantences, that is a precious commoditity they know little about.
Mom prays for me and my family every single day, she encourages me when I'm down, or even when she thinks I might be 'down'...she's always insisted that I give it a try, or step out in faith, or trust in Jesus, no matter what. I've witnessed her strength over the years, her faith journey and her servant's heart. She serves and serves and serves, like there's no tomorrow...I am truly thankful for her example, and the way that she loves me and my family. Because she is sucha servant, she completely understands the role my family now plays in this ministry. She has taken on our boys in true prayer warrior fashion, keeping up with their names and unique details about them so that she can pray specifically for them each day!
She loves unconditionally, and trusts God with every fiber of her being. We've been through some really difficult days together, she, my sister and me...and we've remained very close, even though the miles seperate us, physically. I am proud to call her mom, and so truly blessed by her example! Thanks, mom, I love you so much.
