So many precious memories are still very much alive in me and I wouldn't have it any other way, Because those are major things that gives me strength and inspiration today. I have no problem opening my mouth to say; outside of God, my Mother is the root of the will that drives me to be all I can be, while keeping it real.
When I was a child, I cried when she cried. I smiled when she smiled though I now realize; sometimes she hurt deep inside. When she couldn't give us the things most children liked. She raised us to have dignity and pride about who we were. She shared and told us about God and his wonderful love. My mother is the best mother I could have ever asked for.
Many times as child I had anger inside because I couldn't have or do this or that. I didn't consider her a friend at the time, because she had other things in mine; like teaching me forgiveness, love and responsibility while providing for my health and basic needs. As a child these things don't always seem like a priority and like most I was not in agreement.
Today I thank God my mother was bigger than me and cared more about the child she was raising than having me as a friend might cut off my blessings or bring my life to an end. As an adult today, I couldn't ask for a better friend in which I know is there til the end.
Being a mother myself I had the opportunity of knowing and realizing I couldn't be moved by the complaints, the anger or crying. I had to be whom God created me to be and that is mother responsible for each and every seed. To nourish, and water, through every season. For that was my position, God's command and during that time I don't believe anyone of my children would of considered me a friend.
But Glory to God! Though it was somewhat hard it was worth the mission from beginning to end because now I consider my mother, and children my dearest friends. Make no mistake about it. God is the supreme source, the Father who can silence the loudest noise.
The position never ends it only moves into a another level or realm where there's new life, and a new relationship filed with respect, love and honor that's on going and a major blessing with Christ in it.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it (Prov. 22:6).
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him (Prov. 22:15).
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour (Ro.13:7).
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. (Eph. 6:1-3).
