A Tribute To Mama

It came natural for Mama to equally love all twelve of her demanding children. When I came along my two oldest brothers had left and two children had died.
Mama seemed to live in the kitchen, stirring up grub for hungry stomachs crowding the table.
Church was important to her. On Saturdays she prepared church clothes, cooked pies, and killed and cut up chickens for Sunday dinner. That evening she heated water on the stove for weekly baths in the kitchen.
If Nellie Watson didn't feel well, we never knew.
Most children don't appreciate the sacrifices their mothers make until they grow up. 
I miss my godly mother.
Proverbs 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
