God's Blessed Mother's Day for all mothers
IN FOND MEMORY OUR MOTHER
Dearest Mother, we thank our LORD GOD for giving to us the greatest mother of all. in both you and dad, your companion of over forty years, we have a great example of the nature and personality of the Almighty GOD! In dad, we have been reminded of GOD’S constant presence, protection and provision. In you, and because of your constant presence with us, we have been privileged to know GOD’S holiness, love, discipline and sacrifice; God has thus blessed us with you both to complete our lives.
Though you did not have a lot formal education, you taught us by your example the importance of truthfulness and hard work. We do not have to take things that do not belong to us! We have been privileged to have life so that we can apply our strength and talent to good use in order to have a good life; you had always been with us in the various endeavors of our life. Providing with the on-the–job training. One aspect involved our studies in school. Even though you did not know the subjects involved, you were with us even till late in the night, helping us by your presence, and the special drinks and food that you provided, though you hand never been in any parent training class, yet you realized that ”the rod and reproof five wisdom; but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame”(Proverbs 29:15) You applied that rod and reproof firmly and we praise GOD that we have not brought you shame. There were many instances of special sacrifices you made for us! Once, you had to labour outside the home to supplement the income of the home during a very difficult time, We still remember that great labour of love, every time we were sick, you were always there all day and night. It was always so comforting to feel the touch of your hand on our foreheads, even during the lat hours of the nights. There was so much tenderness in your life that has made it so easy for us to realize there must be tender-mercies in the GOD who made us. Your love and sacrifice extended to our spouses and children. You had always been quick to observe there needs and to supply them as best as you know how. Outside our home, you had always been extending your hand to help the needy of whatever needs. One example involved to peace-making of quarrels, You had always been a peace-maker and others always brought their problems to you. You had not failed them, even though there were times when others misunderstood and you yourself were blame. Truly, blessed are peacemakers for they shall be called the children of GOD (Matthew 5:9)
Your children arise today and call you blessed! Many have done virtuously, but you have excelled the all. Above all, we praise you for the fear of the LORD GOD for as GOD’S word reminds us, “Favour is deceitful and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised!” (Proverbs 31:30). “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.” (Psalm 103:13). You are now entered into your deserved rest, in the presence of our LORD God and re-united with dad, there is rest from labour. Our good works will follow after you in and though our lives, May we never bring shame to you! We do not say, “Goodbye” for now, we will say, “Mother Goodnight, have a good rest till we see you in the morning.” Praise the Lord that we will see you again in the many mansions in Heaven and we will never be separated again. Praise GOD for the blessed hope because of the death and resurrection of our LORD Jesus Christ! Thank you again for the privilege and joy to have you as mother. We will see you someday! Enjoy your rest with dad. We love you and will miss
