My Mom

My mother is a strong woman with broad shoulders to carry the weight of her life. She is a loving and unselfish woman. Protector, Provider, Caregiver, Companion, Servant, Encourager, Prayer warrior, Friend, Saved by Grace and though many do not realize it is keeper of our family.


Currently she is everyone of those listed above to one man. A man that is her husband and a father to all her children. At different times she is many to all that has connection with her, even to her own mother.

What credit my father receives has been partially due to my mothers work on the front line and behind the scene. Has done the dirty work while the glory goes elsewhere. The ole saying. "Behind every man is a wonderful woman" She asks for no credit for what she has provided everyone in her lifetime yet she deserves more than we all together can give her.


God is extending the life of my father for a purpose. God has a plan for you. "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, they are plans for good, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 (nlt) And she alone is his constant. It is our choice to live God's plan or not but He will use all things for His glory.


When my father was working and providing financially. She worked outside the home and took care of all the duties a family, children and home demand.


When my father could no longer work because of diabetes and its affects on ones health she continued to work and provide for her family, children and home.


None of this discounts the role my father continues to play in all our lives but this blog is for my Mom. Who had no sons to be Mamma's Boy :) and give her her due credit. :)


From infancy to now our family has had pillars. One of which carries many titles but I call her MOM
