Ephesians 6:18...James 5:15&16...
James 5:19&20...
This poem was written for a few different
reasons I think. The first reason was, I wanted to
let you know the reason why I am serving God today.
If it had been up to me and my worldly thinking,
I would still be out there bathing in the river of
sin that had me bound, swimming feverishly toward
that eternal lake of fire. First you should know
that God does the saving(not Moms), but God puts
prayer warriors out there to pray for us when we
sometimes are not even aware of it. Those continued
prayers are what brought this dirty sinner out of
death and into life. Thanks Mom!!! I also think the
poem is meant to show other parents, that no matter
how far gone you think your children are, that there
still is hope for them. The best way to give
them that hope is on your knees before God. Pray
for your children, believe in God and trust him to
deliver those souls back into the Kingdom.

"MY MOTHER"

My Mother is a gift sent from God,
whose Love will never end.
A Love that knows no boundry lines,
this child's dearest friend.

My Mother has cried and wept for me,
when my hope was all but lost.
She will intercede, for her precious seed,
and never count the cost.


My Mother's faith is firm in God,
a find so sweet and rare.
Always praying for me, to be set free,
a warrior strong in prayer.


My Mother's prayer is the reason why,
I am serving God today.
She would reel me in, I could feel within,
every time I'd go astray.


My Mother is perfect in my eyes,
and God's work still isn't done.
No one could replace, that precious face,
that smiles upon her Son.


My Mother is selfless to a fault,
but I'm glad that fault is mine.
Always kneeling to pray, when I lost my way,
as a lighthouse she would shine.


My Mother is one of a kind, you see,
though my bias may be clear.
Nothing can compare, to the Love we share,
and the bond that brought us near.


My Mother will never fully know,
how much she is adored.
My debt is grand, for her Godly stand,
and her service to the Lord.


My Mother will hear from God one day,
Dear Lola, you have won.
Your prayers I heard, with your spoken word,
"please save my Timmy Jon".


My Mother will be so proud to see,
her son arrayed in white.
Her answered prayer, just standing there,
and precious in His sight.
