The heart of a 'mother's' love is beautiful.

What a lovely dedication to your Mom. Many moms can identify I am sure.

Jesus words in Luke 14:26 If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters yes, even his own life-he cannot be my disciple. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
These words from our Lord are very difficult to understand, yet I know he wants me to think about the heavenly place that is waiting for me one day...to keep focused on that and not of this world.

You are so special and your words reach out to shout volumes to all who need to hear great words!

This was a all consuming piece of work and I thank you for sharing!
We all have a "Once" in life but I am glad we have second chances too..

God Bless you dear friend!
Teresa

Dear Asa - By this heartfelt tribute, your son misses you very much. I only hope he will soon be out of gaol and will make a new life for himself. It is so sad and painful for you and your family. My thoughts are with you. Rainbows

A tribute to a well deserving woman of strength and valour,
whose strength come from God her Father, one fully armored
in Jesus and clothed in humility! What a beautiful testimony
of His Love, Grace and mercy!
Thank you so much Joyce for sharing and for always being real,
what a special sister you are to me!

p.s. Hats off to you Asa! Standing ovation! The best is yet to come
for you!

Much Love,
Always!!

Dear Joyce, many do not know that the mother the most active part of God. We could not have survived in this world without her love. Read the bible where the word feminin is mentionned. Thak you for sharing and God bless you. Love Emile

He has a beauty of spirit and now you are beginning to see it in his words. This is so beautiful Joyce and it brought my tears. We just don't get motherhood perfect but I can tell from this poem how much you always loved your children.

A wonderful tribute to a mother... I am sure that all mothers feel that they could have been a better mother at times. That is part of living and growing, but what a pay back it is to have your son feel privileged to look like you.

Cryssa :~)

Oh Joyce , this poem is so touching and heartfelt. He has his mothers talents and a wonderful way of expressing that which is within. I hpoe you'll post more of his poems on your den. One of our sons is also incarcerated! He write poetry also. I also write to a young man named, George Alan Wilson who grew up with Rick , another one of our sons. I have put many of Georges poems on my den. Hes studying to be a minister and is now in a work camp at Avon Park . Thankyou for sharing this treaure with us. God bless your son. I wish him well and tell him he's in my prayers. It seems you have both been touched by our Lords love!..M

WOW! That would surely bowl me over if my son wrote it to me! You have a right to be proud of him,and yourself, for finding and following the Savior! To God be the glory!!

The sage said: "It is not a crime to get sick, but it is a sinful crime to remain sick."

Blessed are those that seek for medical and spiritual help!

When a human being understands the sublimity and the supremacy of motherhood, the seraphic beings will accompany her/him for life.

Thank you for sharing this treasure "...Once ('Mother's Day'....in August)" shines.

In appreciation,

Dixie Dawn Michelle

You are very strong woman, I admire you and wish the best for you two...You must be very proud that finally he is coming around...

Christine

Joyce,
I can see it's not been easy, in fact it's been very hard and you are stronger than most to have weathered it.
In admiration,

John

Like I Told My Son Either You Lighten (Grow) Up Or It Is Adios M Fer...He Is Worlds Greatest Intellectual Liar!

Sooner Or Later He Has To Grow Up!

You Can't Take All Blame,i.e.Least You Got It Off Your Chest!

TRASK

Joyce,I am a strong believer in nothing just happens, your son who has been in and out of prison is now finding himself, sad but true that it took him going to prison to find himself, but nothing just happens, thank God that he is able to find himself, so be it that he is in prison, better there with a heart beat of sounds, than, well you know, But all praise go to our father, only he knows if this is your sons last trip to the pin, let's just stay in prayer not only for him but all of our young men, May you remain with God, and let your Son know this piece is dynamite. Sorry to have written so much, but it was just touching, I have 3 daughters no sons.
1 luv

Joyce, In dealing with our past, sometimes we can only hug each other, cry and move on. The one thing we can't do is look back and get angry. Tell your son, I like his work.

Joyce...this is a beautiful sharance of his beliefs...we all do carry scars
it is the wounds we need to tend to & I am so happy to hear they are mending bridges...
Peace & Continued Inspirations
Vickie
