Mother’s Day
I have to give a shout out to my mom, Linda Heyward, on this very special Mother’s Day. Lots of people honor their mom’s on this day, but I have to say that mine is the best–haha, I may be a bit biased. Anyway, this woman loves Jesus–not only does she say that she loves Jesus, but she actually shares this love with everyone she comes in contact with. Whether its friends or family, she always shows forth the love of Christ. The Word says that people will know we are Jesus’ disciples by our love for one another–she definitely shows forth that love.
Also, my mom loves my dad. A lot of people can’t say that, but I am so thankful to Jesus that Mom and Dad’s marriage has lasted 26 years and will continue to last as their love is rooted in Christ. Mom and Dad love one another and thus live out the Gospel through their marriage. They share Christ through how they love and serve one another.
Mom not only loves Dad, but she also loves her children. My mom has given birth to and raised six kids–SIX KIDS. That is flippin’ awesome. Some folks think having a few kids is a challenge, but six–six is ridiculous. I have grown up and moved on, so there are still five in the house; however, mom’s job continues each day. A mom’s work is never done–its a full-time position. Dad always says that Mom has the hardest job in the world.
I thank God so much for my mom. She is truly a blessing. She has raised us with love, care, and sincerity. She has constantly poured herself out for her family as she lives her life sacrificially each day. She ensures that her family is taken care of before herself.
Thank you so much Mom! I praise Jesus for you–thank you for all that you do and all that you are!! I love you!
