I learned to forgive quickly because
of her example. I learned
to look to Christ for my purpose and worth because of her love and
devotion to
Him. I learned that God always creates beauty out of broken lives
by watching how she lives her life so eloquently and
intentionally.
I learned to dance and laugh and
sing in all circumstances
by watching her. I learned about God's amazing grace by being
around her. By her example, I
learned that being a follower of Jesus means helping the poor by
actually
getting close to them and getting to know them. I learned how to
be accepting
of everyone, how to love unconditionally, and how to give
sacrificially because of the way she lives daily.
I learned from her how to live the
Gospel of Jesus Christ and not
just talk about it. I learned how to show grace and kindness to
all people no
matter how they treat me. And I'm still learning to be generous
and gracious in
everything I say and do by watching her.
Happy birthday to the best mother and saintly example a person could have.
I love you, Mama, with all my heart!
