My Mother's 70th Birthday

[Rhoni]

The past few days have been busy and intense. We are throwing my Mother a surprise 70th Birthday bash. Family from several states have been flying in and cards as well as gifts flooding in from all across the USA.

We got a phone call from a family friend yesterday that brought tears to all of our eyes; a young girl who used to live down the street from us had this story to share: She said last Sunday as she and her daughter were sitting in church through the worship service - she looked over at her teenage daughter and saw that she had her eyes closed, her hands lifted up, and she was worshipping God.

She said if it hadn't been for our Mother taking the little neighbor girl to Sunday School, and her family being so kind to her...her daughter would not know Jesus Christ. She thanked God that my Mother has shown so much kindness to so many and through that kindness many souls had found their way to Christ.

Through the years, it has always been my desire to have a double portion of what my mother possessed just like Elisha received from Elijah. My Mother is, and has always been a soul-winner. Mother's aren't perfect, and they make mistakes, but my Mother has a gift that has influenced the lives of so many.

I just wanted to share with everyone what a special Mom I have. As my family and I celebrate tomorrow...please say a prayer for my little/big brother. I happen to know that my Mother's greatest desire is to see my brother delivered from alcohol and saved to the utmost. Please join with me in prayer that Mom's prayers will be answered for her children and grandchildren to be saved.

In Jesus name. I thank God for a prayer warrior and a soul-winning Mother.

Blessings, Rhoni
