My Mom
is strong. she would never say so, and if you told her this she would baulk and tell you just how weak she has been. she knows where her battle lies and keeps on fighting.
doesn't give up. throughout the toughest situations she has stuck to her guns. crawling when she can't walk.
loves. just plain loves people. she radiates love and people can feel it.
smiles. her smile lights up her face. it draws people in and puts them at ease. her eyes sparkle and she can't help the laugh that escapes her mouth. and she has one for everyone.
is easy to get along with. she just rolls with whatever.
knows what is important. she keeps to the code that is best. gives her problems the proper place and lets go of what she can.
is teachable. desires to learn and put into action what she knows.
is giving. i can't tell you how many lives she has touched. we may never know - and it spreads out from person to person. her desire has always been to be sure others had what they need.
is kind. has something nice that she says or does for people.
is happy for others. when good things happen she is glad for the blessings others receive.
gives credit to others. she doesn't blow her own horn.
is gracious. she is not one to cut others off in conversation or push her point. she is give and take in relationships, doing her best to be in balance.
looks our for others. she does her best to bless them. going so far as to put their needs before her own.
is forgiving. she easily forgets ;). there is no list of 'make-up mistakes' with her.
loves the truth. she is excited when the truth comes out. wants it to be heard.

do you know why my mama is this way???
Huh? Huh? HUH??? do you??
because through her life she has turned her face to the One who Heals, Delivers, Saves us and brings us through our circumstances. she has pursued Him when it was not convenient and there were other things to do. even from a place of incredible weakness and hurt she cries:
'Abba, Father!!! You are my only HOPE.'
'Abba, Father!!! You are my only HOPE.'
