Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to do a post about my

amazing Mom on Mother's Day.

(btw, isn't she beautiful!?)

She has sacrificed so much for me and my

family that there aren't enough words

to express my thankfulness.

She has been through my cancer journey and

my back surgery and recovery with such

faithfulness!

She has been a real blessing not only to me, but

also to my children!

We have many happy memories with her and look forward

to making many more!

I love my Mom!

Her children arise up, and call her blessed;

Prov. 31:28a

So Thankful for my Grandmothers

I was talking to a friend this week about my "Mommom", she was

my mother's mother and is pictured above.

I have so many dear memories of her, she was very special, and I loved her so.

I still miss her!

In thinking of her, and my other grandmothers (I was blessed with 3)

I decided to put them at the top of my thankfulness list

today!

 

 

Pictured above is Harry's mother (my step-grandmother) Beatrice Jones, who always

treated me as if I were blood. Very dear lady.

She had a great sense of humor!

We called her "Mommom Jones"

As far as I know, this is the only picture I have of my Grandmother Speakman.

On the far left is my Mommom, and next to her is my Grandmother Speakman,

and then me.

They were quilting at the Fairhill, MD fair. I was probably

around 5, and this picture is from the newspaper.

That quilt had been pieced by my great-grandmother McCann.

 

I thank God for the generations who came before me, for what they taught

me, and for the love they gave.

 

 

Psalm 100:4

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise:

 be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
