Who will Pray for me when Momma's Gone..


Happy Mothers Day, dear friends...

Just wanted to share this post with you again that I wrote in 2011.. 
There is a link to an old Conway Twitty song at the bottom.. 
Enjoy.. 


The picture above is of my Mom many years ago standing in front of her grandparents old homestead...
I am much older now than my mother was in that picture.  And my daughter is older now than my mother was in that picture..
Time has surely passed by and now I am a grandmother...
My mother is a great grandmother.
My daughter is a mother..
What is our legacy? 
What will our children miss when we are gone...
Time moves on dear ones whether we want it to or not... And if the Lord tarries we will go Home...
One day a few years ago one of my grandsons was with me when something surprised me... I said... ohhhh lord....
He looked at me shocked and said..."Grandma... and you a praying woman!!"  smile... The dear boy did not think I should say that but I am glad he thought that his grandmother was a praying woman...
That is the legacy I want to leave my children...
Mama prayed...  
Prayer touches the Throne of God.. When we mothers are gone to our heavenly homes we know that our prayers are still incense around the Throne of Grace...
They are not in vain....
We not only need to pray but we need to teach our children to pray.. We need to show them how to go before the Throne of God and receive blessing and strength...
They need to be taught that prayer changes things... 

I am so thankful for my Mom today... Whenever I am burdened with something I can call her and know that she will join me in prayer...I know that every morning she mentions my name and my children's names... 
I am also thankful to have not only a praying mother but also a praying daughter and daughter-in-law...
My grandchildren are blessed today..

I pray that God will bless all you sweet mamas out there today with his gracious blessings... That your legacy to your children will be prayer...

Have a wonderful Mothers Day... 
I am hugging you all in my mind.. 
And remembering you all in my prayers.. 

God bless... 

A song for you...

  12. Dear Sweet Faye, I truly appreciated reading your post. We taught our daughter to pray and we raised her believing in the Lord Jesus, then she went away to college and after college moved to a town filled with modern new age young adults, watching the moon and stars for direction in their lives. It was scary and we worried about her beliefs . . . then some things happened in her life that brought her back to the Lord. Sometimes He allows health issues and stressful live situations to draw us back. Raise your children in the way they should go and they will remember what is real. Now, she is a mother of two little girls that she wants to know the Lord and to have a prayer life. There is so much power in prayer, I can not imagine a day without touching the heart of Jesus in prayer. How do people survive without Him?
