The word of the week is MOTHER (Of course! What else would it be on Mother's Day!)
Not everyone has had the privilege of being raised by a great mom - I know that - and, I'm truly sorry if this is a hard day for you for whatever reason. But, I want to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about my mom, because she is a huge part of what made me the person I am today. She is not perfect but she has been (and always will be) the perfect mom for me; and I am sure my brother and sister would say the same. Let me tell you about our mom....: a term of address for a female parent or a woman having or regarded as having the status, function, or authority of a female parent.
- She was born a beautiful, natural red head.
- She was number 3 out of 5 children.
- She was born premature and nearly died as an infant.
- She married my dad at the age of 16, and has been married to him for 54 years!
- She raised three children (one of them is me) and, along with Dad, did her best to train us in the way we should go (Proverbs 22:6).
- She was a stay at home mom and homemaker.
- She was always organized and liked things neat and tidy.
- She had a set day of each week when she cleaned the house - Mondays.
