loss, love & legacy;FOREVER FAMILY-Part 8-MY MOM-for Spritual Sundays

I have already invited you all to join in for Summer Bible Study, RUTH-loss, love and legacy, by Kelly Minter, and I have already mentioned the unconditional love (hesed) that Mom has always given me. Always, when I think of the words love & legacy. . .I think of Mom. Loss, too. . . she has lost her Mom, Dad and all of her siblings, and she had to move a couple times.

Love & Legacy. . .Mom, my daughter-Kalyn and I all share the same favorite scripture:

Trust in the Lord

with all your heart;

and

lean not on your

own understanding.

In all your ways,

acknowledge Him,

and He will

make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Mom has also always modeled Proverbs 3:3 for me. She has never let Love and Faithfulness leave her. She has told me that it is her belief that parents should always provide a physical and emotional shelter for their children, no matter what the children do. She did always have rules, but she always loves us, no matter what!

Mom has always supported Dad in everything he has done. Now, they are retired and they enjoy spending time together.

Mom is a wonderful Grandma and Great Grandma! She always has something good to eat, and she is always available to help in any way she can.

Mom has always been active in the church, ministering to others, and she has always been a good neighbor.

Mom has always been a "Proverbs 31 Woman". I am so blessed to have my Mom.

It is very difficult to follow in Mom's footsteps, but she is definitely building a wonderful legacy!

I love you, Mom, and I thank God for you.

This is not just a "tribute" to my Mom. It is meant to be an encouragement to all men and women to remember Proverbs 3:3, 5-6, to be faithful to God and to their family, and another invitation for Summer Bible Study.
