I Am Thankful For Our Mothers!

Hello,

Surprise, it is Kelly Jo writing to you. Happy Mother's Day! 

Today I am giving Odie a break from writing. I think she is doing a wonderful job carrying on her Dad’s daily blogs. I wanted to borrow her writing space and tell you something on my heart.

As most of you already know, my husband, Davy, was a wonderful man with a heart toward God. Over the years, he developed a wonderful ministry that helped saints and reached sinners.

 

Much of his effectiveness can be attributed to his diligence to study, preparation and pure desire to reach all the people he could. 

There is one more contributing factor, his praying Mother. Davy often told us about the impression his mom left on him by praying by his bedside each night. 

I am convinced her prayers played a big part in shaping who he was for the Lord. Therefore, shaping the path for the wonderful years I had with him before he went on to Heaven to receive his reward.  

I cherish all the time we had on the road traveling for God.  So I want to thank my Mother-in-law, Martha Boggs, for being such a great woman and helping to make Davy into a man with a place in his heart for God. I have benefited greatly from it. 

I also want to pay tribute to my own Mother, Betty Morgan.

Growing up I was encouraged so much to play music and sing with all I had in me.  

She took me to church and exposed my life to great worship. That helped establish my direction toward God.  She always reminded me that gifts come from God and to always use any gifts I had for Him. 

She was a cheerleader for me then and she still is today! I am forever grateful for everything she has helped me accomplish in my life by her encouragement to use what God has given me. 

So a little encouragement, if you are a young mother or even a Mom with grown kids, remember that your words and your actions can help shape and guide your child into being something great for God!

You can have a part in what they may do for God someday!   I think that is amazing! What we as Mom’s say and do can be forever in their hearts. 

Thank you for listening to me today!
