My mother passed away in November of 2016. She was born at home in 1934.   She reminded me of the verse in II Timothy 1:5 where it is speaking of the unfeigned faith of Timothy’s mother and grandmother.  I have been greatly blessed to have her Christian example in my life.  My mother taught me and showed me God’s love. 

My mom always insisted that we respect others.  She was old fashioned and had many quirky sayings like, “go fly a kite” and “you look like a rag-a-muffin.” 

There were many games like Skip-Bo and Wha-Hoo played with the grandkids and great grandkids.  She loved telling new jokes to the kids.

Most of all, my mother insisted by admonition and example that loving God and following the Lord are the most important duties in life. We, her family, are missing her, especially since this is our first Mother’s Day without her.

God is good to allow me to have had a wonderful up-bringing by a godly mother.
