Prioritized Daily Task
Sent mother's day tribute to family and friends late last night / early this morning
The children and grandchildren called your Grandmother and my Mother, Granny-bug. She loved Ora, Elain, me and all her grandchildren so very much and we all knew it.
When we were babies our mothers loved and cared for us. The love, that is the closest, to the love of God, is this world is that of a mother for her children. Even among the animals, God has put in the hears of mothers to love their offspring. When a mother first learn she is with child it is her nature to do all in her power to protect that unborn child.
It is Satan's goal to take that love out of the heart of a mother. That is not what God wants.
I remember when we were young going to all-day sangins at the church in Bethel and mother would honor her, mother and father by putting flowers on their graves. My time on this earth is somewhat limited as to how I can honor my mother who has passed beyond the veil. I want to do all I can to honor her and have all her children and the grand children love and honor her. This tribute I hope in some way will do that.
I love you.
Happy Mother's Day

Attachment:
FOR ALL THE
MOTHERS IN MY LIFE, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
In an effort
to honor them I am sending this to you, you are an incredibly special mother.
My mother,
Granny-bug, never grew old; her body may have betrayed her with time, but her
spirit was always young, loving, happy and free. You have many of these same
qualities as Granny-bug and she loved you so very much.
This story
paints a picture of you and Granny-bug.
“THE YOUNG MOTHER SET HER FOOT ON THE PATH OF LIFE. ‘IS THE WAY LONG SHE
ASKED?’ ‘YES – AND THE WAY IS HARD, AND
YOU WILL BE OLD BEFORE YOU REACH THE END OF IT.
BUT THE END WILL BE BETTER THAN THE BEGINNING.’
BUT THE
YOUNG MOTHER WAS HAPPY AND WOULD NOT BELIEVE THAT ANYTHING COULD BE BETTER THAN
THESE YEARS. SO, SHE PALYED WITH HER
CHILDREN, AND GATHERED FLOWERS FOR THEM ALONG THE WAY, AND BATHED THEM IN CLEAR
STREAMS, AND THE SUN SHOWNE ON THEM AND LIFE WAS GOOD. AND THE YOUNG MOTHER CRIED, ‘NOTHING WILL
EVER BE LOVERIER THAN THIS.’
THEN CAME
NIGHT, AND STORMS, AND THE PATH WAS DARK, AND THE CHILDREN SHOOK WITH FEAR AND
COLD. AND THE MOTHER DREW THEM CLOSE AND COVERED THEM WITH HER MANTLE, AND THE
CHILDREN SAID, ‘OH, MOTHER, WE ARE NOT AFRAID FOR YOU ARE NEAR AND NO HARM CAN
COME.’ AND THE MOTHER SAID, ‘THIS IS BETTER THAN THE BRIGHTNESS OF DAY, FOR I
HAVE TAUGHT MY CHILDREN COURAGE. TODAY I
HAVE GIVEN THEM STREGNTH.’
AND THE NEXT
DAY CAME STRANGE CLOUDS WHICH DARKNED THE EARTH---CLOUDS OF WAR AND HATE AND
EVIL, AND THE CHILDREN GROPED AND STUMBLED, AND THE MOTHER SAID, ‘LOOK UP, LIFT
YOUR EYES TO THE LIGHT.’ AND THE
CHILDREN LOOKED AND SAW ABOVE THE CLOUDS AN EVERLASTING GLORY, AND IT GUIDED
THEM AND BROUGHT THEM BEYOND THE DARKNESS. AND THAT NIGHT, THE MOTHER SAID,
‘THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF ALL FOR I HAVE ‘FOR I HAVE SHOWN MY CHILDREN GOD.’
AND THE DAYS
WENT ON, AND THE WEEKS AND THE MONTHS AND THE YEARS, AND THE MORHTER GREW OLD,
AND SHE WAS LITTLE AND BENT. BUT HER
CHILDREN WERE TALL AND STRONG AND WALKED WITH COURAGE. AND WHEN THE WAY WAS HARD, THEY HELPED THEIR
MOTHER, AND WHEN THE WAY WAS ROUGH, THEY LIFTED HER, FOR SHE WAS AS LIGHT AS A
FETHER, AND AT LAST THEY CAME TO A HILL, AND BEYOND THIS HILL THEY COULD SEE A
SHINNING ROAD AND GOLDEN GATES FLUND WIDE.
AND THE
MOTHER SAID, ‘I HAVE REACHED THE END OF MY JOURNEY. AND NOW I KNOW THAT THE END IS BETTER THAN
THE BEGINNING, FOR MY CHILDREN CAN WALK ALONE, AND THEIR CHILDREN AFTER THEM.’
AND THE
CHILDREN SAID, ‘YOU WILL ALWAYS WALK WITH US, MOTHER, EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE GONE
THROUGH THE GATES.’
AND THEY
STOOD AND WATCHED HER AS SHE WENT ON ALONE, AND THE GATES CLOSED AFTER
HER. AND THEY SAID, ‘WE CANNOT SEE HER,
BUT SHE IS WITH US STILL. A MOTHER LIKE
OURS IS MORE THAN A MEMORY, SHE IS A LIVING PRESENCE.’”

I DID A SIMILAR TRIBUTE TO DEBBIE
This is a special day and I want you to know, that I know, you are a very special mother. That is why I have put this tribute together, to honor you.
We all deserve and want to be loved. When we were babies our mothers loved and cared for us. The love, that is the closest, to the love of God, is this world is that of a mother for her children. Even among the animals, God has put in the hears of mothers to love their offspring. When a mother first learn she is with child it is her nature to do all in her power to protect that unborn child.
It is Satan's goal to take that love out of the heart of a mother. That is not what God wants.
My time on this earth is somewhat limited as to how I can honor my mother because she has passed beyond the veil, but not yours.
I want to help you in anyway I can to honor your mother and have the children and grand children love and honor you.
I love you.
Happy Mother's Day
