Mom’s the Word

Mom’s the Word
By Tommy Franks

Mothers' Day is always special to me. MOTHERS are very special indeed. In the Bible, Sarah was special. Esther was special. Hannah was special. Mary was special. Dorcas was special. Elisabeth was special. God has made all mothers special.

Being a godly mother takes love, understanding, wisdom, patience, knowledge, and the compassion of God Almighty. Mothers are SPECIAL because they bring forth little babies into this world. Then it takes 18 to 20 years to nurture, train, educate, mature, and grow that little child into an adult. A mother's work is never done. Sometimes being a mother is tough and almost thankless
UNTIL you begin to count your bountiful blessings. Rest in the Lord and be assured that one day you will be rewarded for all your efforts. May the peace and comfort of the Holy Spirit be upon you today. The following poem was written in memory of my mother.

The Godly Mother
By Tommy Franks
In Memory of: Mrs. Eva (Bearden) Franks

Mother, you are SPECIAL.
You gave me warmth when I was cold.
I was afraid, but you were bold.
My strength had gone,
But YOU were strong.
I had a fever on my brow,
You came and spoke and prayed aloud.
A beautiful smile came upon your face
When you saw the Lord's amazing grace.

Mother, you are SPECIAL.
Your children rise up and call you blessed.
Now, after many years you can get some rest.
Your fervent prayers have stood the test
Because YOU were not afraid to invest.
Abortion never entered your mind.
You were a woman after HIS kind.
Mama, you stormed the gates of hell and won.
Your life in Heaven has begun!
