in memory of my Mother, Elsie Mae Aldred...

Happy Mother's Day

God blesses some of us
with precious and dear friends
whom we call 'Mother'...
my mother was indeed
my 'best friend'...
she never wavered in her concern,
never turned away,
when i needed to talk;
never failed to teach, to me,
the values of life...
that 'it is better to give,
than to receive'...
truly, God blessed my life
with a mother who guided
me toward Jesus...
all in her own special ways,
Jesus' love radiated
through her good deeds and kindness
to all of us who knew and loved her...
God blessed my life with
a Mother who felt close to nature...
one who loved all of God's
most simple and touching creations.
this instilled a deep reverence,
within my heart,
toward all of nature and its' seasons...
i truly thank our LOrd
for a Mother whose 'country ways'
taught me to appreciate
simplicity in its' sincerest forms,
and to realize that beauty
comes from the heart
and through the virtues of a person...
God, please take good care of Momma,
for she is, now at home with you...
for all she did for others,
it was all truly for you...
i am sending 'all my love' to Momma
on this special day -
this Mother's Day -
a day just for her
and for all Mothers
(whether with us or gone on
to their eternal home)...
Mothers Day -
when mothers should be honored
for the blessings
to which they impart,
through the big and small ways
their love is shown to us...
i thank you, Lord, for all
the Mothers Days that i spent with mine!
