• Mother’s Day Tribute

  
  

  Mother’s Day will be busy this year with church and then our family gathering. So, I thought I would put my Mother’s Day post on early lest I forget.

  
  

  Happy Mother’s Day to my dear Mother. The Lord gave me these words to honor you on this Mother’s Day. I pray you will always know how much your example has meant to me throughout the years.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  

  Many a daughter has given a review

  
  

  Of the grandness of her mother

  
  

  Her accomplishments not few.

  
  

  But, stand back daughters because I’m here to say.

  
  

  My mother is the grandest on this Mother’s Day.

  
  

  
  She did all the things that a mother should do

  
  

  She cooked and she cleaned and she tied my shoe.

  
  

  But the one that means most is she took me to church.

  
  

  Taught me the commandments and didn’t let me off the hook.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  

  She took me to church when I was just small

  
  

  She made sure I learned the book of the law

  
  

  She taught me my prayers and we prayed each night

  
  

  As she tucked me in bed and then turned out the lights.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  

  She instilled a fear of the Lord in my young heart

  
  

  And told me to obey Him for this would be smart.

  
  

  I listened and learned and those words drew me near,

  
  

  To a God that I will love all through my years.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  

  She read me the stories from the Bible you see

  
  

  Moses and Adam and Noah were only three.

  
  

  Lessons were learned from the pages she read

  
  

  As we prayed and knelt on our knees near the bed.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  

  The day finally came when I had my own three

  
  

  Following Mama’s example I’d teach them you see

  
  

  To train them all up in the ways of the book,

  
  

  And make sure each Sunday we’d take them to church.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  

  Later came grandchildren, nine to this day.

  
  

  Now the lessons once taught are given their way.

  
  

  Flannel board stories and bedtime ones, too.

  
  

  Mama’s example is now training a whole crew.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  

  So, today I thank God for the mother He gave.

  
  

  I appreciate her more and more each day.

  
  

  May the Lord bless you Mama in this coming year.

  
  

  And may your love for Him grow more dear and dear.
