What I will be known as after I am gone is something I won’t know.
At least not here.
At every single funeral I attend these thoughts plague me. So much so that I began to wonder–on paper if not out loud, just exactly what I am.
A daughter, a wife, a sister, a mother, a grandmother, even a friend. But there is one thing I want to be known as above any other thing. I want to be known as a daughter-wife-mother-sister-grandmother who had a passionate heart for God.
There is a vast difference in the heart of true mother and the heart of a woman who has children. As you read, you must know that these are some things “I” have faced in my own life. That’s the tough thing. Learning the lessons in the first place…..
For the rest of the devotion—come on over to the Cafe` today–grab a seat–I’ve poured you a hot cup! Sit back, relax–let’s share about life as a mom–and how Jesus impacts our lives. Today you will find me here:

Oh Angie
Thanks for sharing your sweet words! Wanda sounds like she smeared her forever on your heart!
Sisters…..do that!
I noticed you're a southern girl! Me too!
I'm from south Florida near Lakeland. But, I lived in Graceville for 3 years while my hubby attended the Baptist college (it was Florida Baptist back then).
So…we've been neighbors, girl!
Glad to find you out here in blogland! New friends are a blessing from God!

BE BLESSED!
