Thinking of life without her was not even comprehensible. How I long to hear one of her “mom-isms.” Just one more “your always sayin’ something,” or “there you go, runnin’ your mouth again.”
She left a legacy of being a wonderful wife, mother, sister, aunt, and friend … but most importantly, she died a faithful servant of the Most High God. She submitted to his sovereignty, did his will and honored His great and holy name.
Today, there are six of her children and two grandchildren who have studied the Bible. We’ve each made a personal decision to serve the true God, symbolizing our dedication by means of water baptism. All that she was is in each of us. Her strength, her knowledge, her kindness, and her love of family and truth. We, in turn, instill in our children the Bible truths that she, at first, and now we hold so dear.
I’m still talking; runnin’ my mouth. But the things I say are the things I have been taught to believe and have taken to heart. I try to help others come to know the true God as over 6,600,000 others do on a daily basis. I think Mom would be so proud of me … proud of all of us. I can’t wait ‘til we see her again …
Oh, yes! We will see her again … And that’s the truth.
