Let me wipe away the tears so I can see my keyboard…I know just by what you’ve written here that you know how blessed you are to have a mother that was able to teach and give you so much.
I was not as fortunate, however I have made it my main goal to be the kind of mother to my children that God wanted for me. (my children and my husband are the reason I breathe)
God Bless you and your mom - may the peace that only He can bring rest over you always…

You wrote this? It is awesome!
I’d love to know how she taught you “that money isn’t everything. I’ve learned that I don’t have to be wealthy to be happy” Finances have been a big issue in our house lately. We are sturggling like we never have before.
BUT — the children have so much. Gratefulness comes to mind. I would like them to be more grateful for what they have. Perhaps they have been given too much? Now that I can’t give them all they desire it is biting me in the butt.
What were some specific ways she helped you learn this. Thanks!
