Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
(Prov 31:30)
With Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, I thought I’d take a minute to honor my wonderful mother.
I was only a young mom with 4 children when the Lord called her home.
Although its been many years since then, there hardly isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t think of her or remember some of the many things she taught me.
Even when I cook one of her special dishes my sisters will often say, “That tastes just like mom’s.”
Ladies whether we realize it or not, we are instilling so much into the lives of our children every day. What an awesome and tremendous privilege we have been given.
Use your time wisely. Live your life in the fear of the Lord, and remember – someone is watching.
With love to all you!
Lord I lift up all the mothers out there that are serving You and their families daily. I pray that You would pour out Your blessings upon all of our lives. Guide us each day and teach us how to be women that understand what it means to fear and serve You. May our children rise up and call us blessed. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Join us today over at Penny Rain for more WFW!

Such a sweet and special post! May your mom be readiant in heaven now as you and your family remember her with so much love!
That verse is so precious and so is the photo and your reflection.
We only have one journey as a daughter and it is a special one.
Such beautiful words of wisdom from our Lord and in your loving tribute to your mother. Thank you for reminding us of our God-given blessings of being moms and grandparents.
In joy,

A good word, my friend. I want my children to have an "in memory of..." moment in their futures when they can look back and reflect upon the treasure of our time together. I'm working hard on making it all count, Susan. All of it. Even the less lovely moments along the way.

Thank you for sharing this, Susan, and thank you for stopping by my place. This verse and these thoughts are all so very true and a special reminder this week and always.
Love and blessings!
Absolutely lovely Susan! Isn't it amazing how the years go by, yet the memory of the righteous stands strong.
I'm so thankful for my mom. I tell her that I want to be like her when I grow up. She's 89 yrs old and such a woman of grace.
Blessings to you!
Blessings sweet Susan and Happy Mother's Day! A well chosen tribute to a wonderful woman...your mom and the reflection you are of her! Beautiful Word! Beautiful tribute & love to honor...moms! Thanks for the beautiful prayer and wisdom! Though not a biological mom, my heart is always for the children I had the privilege to touch their lives in my classroom, and in my home... through adoption of two & many foster kids. My arms have been empty for quite some time but my heart is always full as I think of my mom & other moms like you, who are true blessings from God!
Love & hugs,
Peggy

AMEN and AMEN!!! Whenever I am involved in activities for grandparents and grandchildren, I'm always looking for ways to plant "spiritual seeds" in the hearts of my grandkids. That's the best activity of all! What a wonderful legacy your mom has left in you and your family. :) Have a blessed weekend.
That was beautiful Susan. And yes, I think of my mom everyday and can't wait till I can see her and hear her voice again. Sometimes I wish I could get in the car and go to her house. It's a strange feeling. Mom's are special.
Happy Mother's Day to you !

Lovely tribute to your mom. Happy Mother's day to you. Thanks for stopping by my place.
You're always in my thoughts and prayers!

Ephesians 3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Hope those boys of yours treated their mama right today!
Always praying in Seattle!
Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
