My mother…was…and will always be…

My mother…was…and will always be…

The best friend I ever had

I’m not sure why this is so heavy on my heart this morning…

But we’re going to go with the flow

I was blessed to have a mother who had a ‘heart of gold’

She cared so much about people…

That it probably got her into trouble sometimes…

Nothing that God didn’t protect or shield her from…

That’s what He does for His chosen ones…

Who can’t sit idle and watch others do hurtful things…

To themselves, their future or hurt or be hurt...by others

There is no honesty like that that comes from a mother…

Some things were hard to hear and I didn’t want to believe…

But I became a believer in knowing that…

Everything she told me and I questioned...

Would turn out to be true…and that…

No-one would ever love me unconditionally the way she did

No-one would be as honest with me, about me, as she was…

From the place of a ‘genuine, forever’ kind of love

When you’ve been loved like that…it becomes a part of your fabric

And so you too…just love people and genuinely…

Pray for and hope for the best for them and all connected to them

It doesn’t matter who they are…what they look like…

Or where they’ve come from

When you really, truly love people…you just do

I’m grateful that my mother did…truly love people

I don’t know that if she didn’t…I would

My mother really was my very best friend…

And will always be...I didn’t always think so…

But thank God I figured it out before it was too late

I didn’t figure it out until I got to high school…

That she was the one…my very best friend…

Now let me clarify…I felt that she was my best friend…

Never did it leave her lips that she was...my friend…lol

She was a parent first, last and all in between…even to my grown self…

In a respectful, ‘but I have to tell you what God puts on my heart…

And then it’s between you and Him’…kind of way

She said what she had to say and continued to walk in love

I am filled with gratitude today…

Not because it’s a special holiday for mothers…

But just because…I feel her presence…

And have so much gratitude and still live on the love…

Of the one chosen just for me
