When Prayer Requests and Thanksgiving is Made to God

In times of distress, and stressful situations, when burdens become heavy, and difficult to carry, due to heartaches, loss, hopelessness, and such things that bring pain and sorrows, we search for comfort through prayers. Our friends and love ones are there to offer their support that gives us strength to move forward.

Songs of praise with prayers and thanksgiving are made to God on our behalf; asking him to intervene and give us his blessings of grace and mercy, and guide us through the storm.

In times of sickness, we pray for healing.

In times of financial loss, we pray for prosperity.

In times of losses, we ask God to restore.

We Pray to God in our times of need, because we believe he answers prayer.

I Remember Mother’s Love

It was mother’s love that made our house, a happy home.

I remember the kindness, and loving care of our mother

who took good care of our needs, and those of many others.

During the storms of life, it was our mother’s love, that warmed our hearts and gave us hope to hold onto  our dreams, and keep the faith and endure the storm.

“This too shall pass." she said. "Be strong, God will see us through this storm.” Mother’s prayers and her love, guided us when we were away from home.

She taught us to be brave and strong.
Her prayers, kept us safe from harm during the storms, when we were away from home.

On holidays and Sundays at the dinner table;
I will always remember the laughter, during our conversations about past events and picnics;
and the things we shared during the delicious meals we prepared.

When friends and others met my mother at public outings, they showed her great respect.
She was greeted with lots of hugs and handshakes with warm and kind words of,
“Thank you mam, for all the good things you do. I just wanted to say, I love you.”

This is the legacy of my loving mother.
Her precious memories and love will always be within my heart.
And her spirit will never depart.

In honor of all mothers on this special day

Happy Mother’s Day
