"Oh, the sweet smell of lilies; they rejuvenate the soul"

"Oh, the sweet smell of lilies; they rejuvenate the soul"
Lilies were my mothers favorite flower. The sweet smell rejuvenates the soul...
"I am my mothers daughter, this I know, like the lilies of the field; I will flourish and grow"

My Hero...



The scripture says, “God will not put more on us than we can handle. Furthermore, what does not kill, will strengthen.” How fortunate for me to have been born out of the womb of a God fearing, strong and compassionate woman… my mother! My mother was spiritual and loved God. In fact, she taught her husband and children how to walk in the grace and presence of the Lord while maintaining a humble and compassionate heart with others. Notwithstanding, mom had a wicked sense of humor; a witty and charming disposition; she was smart; beautiful; frisky; a dynamite cook; and most important, she synthesized the words; “Great Mom.” Therefore, when the question comes up, "Who is my hero?…It goes without say!" Moreover, the best childhood memory that I have of 'My Hero,' is never having to want for anything; The best memory that I have of 'My Hero' as an adult, is never having to want for anything. I ask the question: "When your mother passes the baton, and tells you to complete the race, will you be ready?"

“Mom, I have Learned from your teachings, and I will forever honor your memory!” Yes, I am the anchor, and ready to finish the race!!!
