HAPPY HEAVENLY MOTHER'S DAY
She cooked and cleaned for us every single day. She got all of us ready for church every Sunday and all the other days at the church. She baked a basket full of raisin oatmeal cookies at least four times a month and the smell coming from our house as we got home from school was magnificent. She welcomed all our friends to our home and treated them with love. She rolled her eyes at some of the ladies on the parsonage committee who toured to make sure we were caring for their donated possessions. She spent many hours going to and from the laundry room. She stood at the ironing board for hours keeping us sharp and pressed. When did she sit down? I can't remember many times but I do know she was seated on Saturday night for GUN SMOKE. She attended every program any of the three of us were in at school. She attended every church meeting or revival. I am exhausted thinking of all the things my mother did. Especially the care she gave me and my two children when we moved to Tulsa after my divorce. I miss my mother every single day. If only I could call and ask her what to do next. Glad you are finally able to rest Mama. Love you so much.
A beautiful tribute to your Mom. Happy Mothers Day!

ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day. I'm sure my mother did many of those same things, though there were never school events to be attended.
ReplyDelete"ladies on the parsonage committee who toured to make sure we were caring for their donated possessions" sounds a lot to me like the "nosy mother-in-law" type who comes to visit and runs a white-gloved finger across the bookshelves and "tsks" if she finds dust.
I pray you've had a blessed and beautiful Happy Mother's Day. Your mother sounds like a magnificent woman.
