Chris' Christian Blog

"May 11, 2019" 

I just finished the semester at Marshall University with a 3.75 Grade Point Average. I don't know if I will be able to blog daily or not because I am starting a full time internship soon at LifeHouse Recovery Houses in Huntington WV. I will be a peer support specialist. That will require me leaving at the crack of dawn and returning close to bedtime so blogging may be put on hold. However that doesn't start for a few days so I'm here now. I transferred my Christian Blog Forum to QueenOwl ~ A New Day Dawns due to my time constraints. I will continue to follow it. I love you all!

"Prompt: Tomorrow is Mother's Day. Write about your Mother's or Grandmother's favorite flower or candy."

My mother's favorite flower was any portrait or gathering attended by all of her children and grandchildren. She didn't care what your relationship to her was. If you were around her you were one of her children. She loved her family and would spend hours preparing for large gatherings like Christmas or reunion. Her biggest wish for her family was that they all be Christians. I am sure there is not a soul in my family who would not gladly sit next to her in church this Mother's Day if it were possible!
Mom did not show partiality to any of her children. We all believe that she naturally favored those who were best in a position to help her as she aged and those who spent more time with her, but you never would have proven that by her actions. She always did her best for all her children and encouraged them to bloom where they were planted. She believed in discipline tendered with love. I miss my mother and think about her every day. It seems odd but I think about my late mother more often than I do my late wives. I loved my mother. May she rest in peace. May all mothers have a very happy Mother's Day!
