The month of May has arrived and with it is one of my most favorite holidays, “Mother’s Day”. I am Blessed to still have my mother (Annie Pernell) with me and my three sisters. Down through the years God has been good to me because not only has He blessed me with my mother’s presence but, my grandmother’s (Emily Moses) presence as well. These two ladies are dear to my heart and have provided me with love and guidance throughout my life. So even though everyday is Mother’s Day, I love celebrations and the Mother’s Day holiday is certainly a worthy one.

Reflections:
*1 Corinthians 13:8* Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. *Continue to Love one another more and more each day. *GPigott
