“You are blessed, because you believed that the Lord would do what he said” (Luke 1:45).
Ever won the lottery? A grand prize? Have you ever opened the door to a pair of business-suited individuals holding a Publisher’s Clearinghouse’ check with your name on it?
I’ve not either—but I believe I know just how that might feel. As a matter of fact, I believe I’ve hit a jackpot bigger, grander, or more value and that will last much longer than any of those…
Not only do I believe in Jesus Christ as the forgiver of all my sins—I’ve also got the best mother He has created. That, my friends, makes me doubly blessed.
My mom is super. My mom is patient. My mom is wise beyond her years. My mom is smart. My mom is beautiful. My mom is loving, giving, understanding and a wonderful role model. My mom makes the best Frozen Strawberry Dessert and chicken and dumplings. My mom is seldom frustrated. My mom is a godly woman who has raised my three sisters and me to believe in God. My mom is the best grandmother in the world, too.
Yes, to know because I believe, I am blessed—that’s great. To know I am blessed because of my relationship with God and because I am Nora’s daughter…well, that’s the icing on the cake.
