Not only did I have a loving mother, but also a loving mother-in-law. I remember them both as we approach Mother's Day
She had three daughters but not a son until I married her number one. She welcomed me and treated me good and always cooked my favorite food. Green beans that tasted the best I’ve had and all that went with them that made me glad. She sat with a smile as big as her heart when I agreed to sing “How Great Thou Art.” Her husband was a preacher, that is true , and soon her daughter wed a preacher too. I’m sure she bragged about me with no end to family and each and every friend. Alzheimers clouded her final days and made her sit with a distant gaze. Death came to her as a welcome friend allowing her spirit to ascend.

A wonderful tribute to her. Many don't get along with their mother-in-laws, but I got along marvelously with mine - in fact, much better than I did with her daughter - my first wife!

I, too, remember her fondly. She was a beautiful person. She touched many lives in a possitive way.

And I am sure she's bragging the ears off of our Lord talking about you.
Happy Mother's Day to you too.
