Happy Birthday Mama

Today is my wonderful mom's birthday.  The older I get, the more I realize that my mom is my best friend.  I wouldn't have recognized that a couple of years ago.  She is the first person I call or text when something exciting happens or when I need prayer.  She is always there for me, even when I'm not aware or don't want to see it.  To this day, she meets with a group of moms once a week to pray for their children.  Often, she'll text me before they meet to ask if I have anything that needs prayer.  I still call her when I'm not feeling well. Even when she's not here, Mom telling me what to do makes me feel better.

Some people may call me sheltered, but I cannot thank my mom and dad enough for that. Mom, I don't even want to know what my life would be like without your constant prayers.  Who knows how many countless times God added a shield of protection around me or I was more in tune to the Holy Spirit's voice because of your prayers. If you've gotten this far and can still read through the tears, I love you and am so thankful for you! Happy birthday Mama.
