To my Mother

"His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master." Mathew 25:21

As I think about my mother on this mothers day and the work that Christ was able to do through her I am amazed. She worked at many things: The mother of an adopted daughter, a disabled son, a girl scout leader, and a teacher of many in Bible school. I watched you fight and win a battle with cancer.

"For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. " Philippians 1:6

I sat with you as your work came to an end. I waited with you as you waited to see your master. This work was not done for people but for Him. This is what made you special, you taught us how to love God in spite of what tasks we given. You taught us to love God because of the task not in spite of it.

"For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:11

I long to know the joy you felt as you met Jesus that day, I will be with you again but I still have work to do. I will take those things you taught me and use them. I hope that I will make you proud of me. I hope that I will meet a lady that you would be proud of. I love you, and miss you so.

I am proud to have called you Mom.

In loving memory of Mom:
