The Word of God says to, "bring up a child in the way they should go...".
This is exactly what my Mother did. I must say, I am so glad that my Mother chose NOT to be my BEST Friend, but rather the BEST Mother a girl could have asked from God. I'm thankful that my mom chose to be a role model in my life and show me the way I should go, rather than try to be my best friend and hang out with me and try to talk my language and run around with me and my friends.
My Mom celebrates her Birthday tomorrow, December 16th and I just wanted her to know how blessed I have been to have a woman of God that I could truly admire and look up to and aspire to emulate in my life. I know I'll never rise to her level of Godliness and talent as both Mother and Woman of God. However, I strive daily to be a reflection of 1/10th of the lady she has been in my life.
As a Mother myself, I know I have failed in many ways. However, I pick myself up and try and try again to set an example that my kids will admire and respect the older they get.
I encourage all Mothers to not give up on being a positive example to their kids. No matter what you've done, where you've drifted to in life and maybe bad decisions you've made for your kids or family. There is always a 2nd chance, or in my case a Millionth chance, to do right. It's NEVER too late! Don't think you can't make a difference. Your kids are waiting on you to be ALL THAT YOU CAN BE! Start today in making a change for the better for you & your kids!
I always thought next to the Virgin Mary there was my Mom, because she was always so Godly. But you know, I Love that about her! She has caused me to challenge myself to be the BEST ME I can be, even if it's not on her level, I can still be a PHENOMENAL Woman and Mother to my kids.
I Love you, MOM! Thank you for being YOU! You've been the GREATEST example of the VIRTUOUS WOMAN!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
