I don't know where I'd be without my mother!

       I've often wondered the person I'd become apart from my mother's daily influence on my life. Wouldn't it be interesting if we could play a video showing our lives with out our mothers influence?

       My mother didn't have a plan or a program-she simply led me by example. Her daily work ethic!  Her observable moral ethic, her absolutely unselfish devoted giving to her family, each and every day of her life, has made a profound effect on me.

       Mother taught me you just don't quit in life. Life isn't fair, never will he fair, but you rise above the unfairness.

       I often wonder where my two sons would be without their mother's influence.

       Often I want to go to my mother's graveside and say, "I understand-thank you. Thank you for being my Mom. Thank you for your example. Oh thank you for living your values. I would not be where I am today without your powerful influence in my life!"

       May you also recognize the faithfulness of God in your life-through your mother.

       Happy Mothers Day-MOM,

       PS. I miss you terribly!
