Mother of the Year #6

Our mother:  Martha

by; Brittany, Mandy and Keira

A mother is your biggest fan, someone who has your back no matter what.  She provides, nurture, and knows you better than anyone else, yet still unconditionally loves you.

God has blessed us with a mother that is all that and so much more. She always showed us that she loved us but also provided the discipline and guidance we needed. I am sure raising 3 girls was not an easy task, but mom, along with our dad, took everything in stride and we always knew we were loved.

She taught us to respect our elders, love others, love God, and to always take care of each other. We learned from her the beauty of life and how to enjoy everyday like it is our last. She taught us to focus on the positive and to not stay down when we fail.  We learned valuable rules like “i” before “e,” “pretty is as pretty does,” and to never end a sentence in “at”, or you will get the response, “between the ‘a’ and the ‘t’”.

As adults, the lessons still continue.  She is presently fighting breast cancer, for the third time in her life; we know that this cancer is not what defines her.  Through her example she shows us that God is in control and we are to turn everything over to Him.  She is a survivor, a fighter.  She is our hero.

Thank you, Mom, for always being there for us and listening even when you didn’t understand. Thank you for showing us how to be a mother and how to treat our families. Thank you for marrying dad and bringing us up in a Christian home. Thank you for learning from your mother and passing down all those secrets to us. We are truly blessed with the best mom and thank God every day for you!!

  8. I can remember when Martha’s girls were young and Martha began journals to each girl writing down her thoughts and things about each of them that she wanted to remember. Martha is a gifted teacher which benefited her family so richly. Each daughter is loved for the special young lady that they are. Each one uniquely gifted with each having the common bond of loving their Lord with all their hearts. That is a true testimony of their parent’s hope and dream for each of them.

  10. Brittany and Martha helped me when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. They are wonderful Christian women and Martha deserves to win!
