I have been blessed with a wonderful mother. She is a godly, Christian woman who taught me the true meaning of perseverance and love. She was always willing to go to bat for my brother and I, and I love that it taught me that I was worth fighting for. She has always been a hard worker, and has modelled for me the noble wife of Proverbs 31. Now that I am grown, I am proud to call her my friend.
Mom broke her wrist two days ago, so I am sending her extra special prayers and wishes for a quick recovery. I spoke with her this afternoon, and she didn't sound like she was hurting too much. Pray that she will have her wrist set without too much trouble.
I have also been blessed with godly grandmothers. My paternal grandmother went home to be with the Lord in November, 2005. I still miss her, but am grateful for all her love and good counsel. She was a wonderful lady, and I am grateful for her encouragement throughout my life. I wish she were here to know her great-granddaughter!
My maternal grandmother is 98, and she taught me to sew. I thank God for her everytime I sew, because she taught me something that has brought me so much joy. I have to also give my mom credit for teaching me to read patterns and to cut out fabric, too. I have definitely been blessed by the creativity of my mom and grandmothers. They taught me so much, and now I am teaching my own children. The legacy continues.
I love you, Mom and Mamaw, and thank God for you!
"Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Proverbs 31:28-29.
May God's richest blessings flow over you,
Jennifer
