I wrote about my mom in the post below and I really felt like I forgot to include a very important aspect of her life...what she greatly valued and made her the type of person she was. My mom was a prayer warrior like you wouldn't believe! I found this paper 'For Others' among her things after she died. My mom had typed this many, many, many years ago - like when she was a teenager - so prayer has always been a very important part of her life. She actively interceded for others and I remember her going to early morning intercessory prayer at church. She also had a notebook with many names listed (mine included!) and she sincerely prayed that God would move in all of those situations. I think that's a great idea and I plan to use one of the lovely journals I've received to do that very thing. My mom certainly understood the power of prayer and I'm so glad she did!'The effective, FERVENT prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16
PRAYER...yields awesome results.
ReplyDeleteHow special to have this keepsake of your mother's and to see the legacy she left of being a true prayer warrior. Several years ago I began a journal with the intention of it being something that one day my children could read. I want them to know how I prayed for them over the years and to hear and see the words on the pages of my journal of how God is working in me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such a priceless gift.
Hi Michelle, Your mom sounds like one remarkable woman! I was so impressed that she sewed your wedding attire, and you helped her with yours! They are amazing! ...And I agree, Prayer is a wonderful, powerful thing! :) ~Rhonda
