Today is my mom's birthday, so I thought that I would do a little "tribute blog" in her honor. As I was perusing websites trying to decide what verse(s) to use for today's entry, I found the following:
I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
~1 Corinthians 1:4-9 (KJV)
These verses fit my mom to a "T." She is such a good and compassionate Christian woman. Her faith is exceptionally strong, and I admire that immensely. She has been blessed in so many ways--she's talented, beautiful, kind, intelligent, compassionate, caring, generous, wise, and loving (among countless other things). She is a wonderful wife and mother. She has always been there for me no matter what. God works through her continuously to give guidance and encouragement to others. She has supported me through tough times and celebrated with me in good times. I am truly, truly blessed to be the child of such a spectacular woman. Words cannot describe my love for her, and my gratitude to God for giving me such a grand gift.
Lord, thank You for this day. It was terrific! Thank You for blessing my mother with such a good birthday. Thank You for letting me spend the day with my mother doing things that we love to do and celebrate her birth and her existence here on earth--without her, I wouldn't be here. Lord, I ask You to please watch over her; keep her safe and strong, happy and healthy; and please bless her with every desire of her heart. Please do the same for my father and the rest of my family and friends and pets. Please watch over those who defend Your name and this country; please bless them with courage and please bring them home safe. Please watch over those who cannot defend themselves; please bless them with strength and may each of them have someone in his/her life that You are working through. Please forgive me of my sins, Lord, and continue to guide me down Your path. Lord, please bless me with serenity, courage, and patience. Lord, I ask that You please work through me to help others. Lord, I will love You and follow You with all my heart and soul forever and ever, Lord, without question. Thank You for everything, Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Love and God Bless,
M.C.
