M. Russell Ballard once said, "There is nothing in this world as personal, as nurturing, or as life changing as the influence of a righteous woman." There is a woman in my life that has had that effect on me, and I am blessed to call her Mom.
My mom exemplifies for me what it means to be a courageous, faithful, covenant-keeping woman. Some of my earliest memories are of sitting in my parents room in the morning, listening to them pray. I have never had a doubt that my mom trusts God. She taught me to pray and to truly love God. I am grateful that she taught me with more than just words, she showed by example how to be faithful, how to obey, and how to trust. I want to be like her.
Over the years I have seen my mom serve selflessly. While we were growing up she gave us so much time and love. I watched her help other people and faithfully fulfill her church callings. No matter her own struggles, she is always giving. I want to be like her.
She has taught me to face trials in life with faith and courage. During times that are hard I think about her. She has always persevered and remained faithful. She is a strength to me in all that I do. Every week for eighteen months she reminded me that with the help of the Lord I could do hard things. But those were more than just words because each and every day I have seen my mom do hard things. When I don't think I can do it anymore I remember her. I think about each time I have seen her do things anyway. I want to be like her.
She is a wonderful mother. She loves us unconditionally. I have never had a doubt that my mom loves me. She has always been there for me and I know she always will be. Even now, she is always serving her children selflessly. I want to be like her.
I consider my mom to be one of my best friends. She is the one that I can always talk to when I am happy and when I am sad. She helps me through my trials and she shares my joys. I enjoy the time that I spend with her and I would never trade it for anything. I have worked along side her, I have laughed with her, and I have cried with her. She is my hero and my role model. I want to be like her.
Happy Mother's Day Mama! I love you so incredibly much! I couldn't have asked for a better mom. Thank you for all that you do and all that you are. I mean it when I say I want to be like you. You are incredible and amazing. I hope you have a wonderful day.
I found this song the other day and it seemed perfect.
