What a godly saint she was, what a stalwart follower of Christ. It wasn't about "show" with her, but about devotion in the face of real adversity. There are some people who are unassuming--just faithful followers of Christ, who, in the end we want to emulate most. Your mother was obviously one such person. She didn't have the capris, perhaps, bur rather the capacity to love, to provide, to emulate Christ in His humility. What a gift God gave you in such a beloved mother. My mother is my hero, too. I want to be just like her if I ever grow up. Thank you so much for this rich sharing. I'm moved and changed by it.<br />Love<br />LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-16048539748810965162014-11-07T07:24:27.707-08:002014-11-07T07:24:27.707-08:00Thank you for sharing your story, Elizabeth. <3...Thank you for sharing your story, Elizabeth. <3 Beautiful words about your beautiful mama.Jenifer Metzgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347866547000559113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-45298405851368240042014-10-26T18:10:38.235-07:002014-10-26T18:10:38.235-07:00Your mama was one strong woman, Elizabeth.
