Happy Mother’s Day to My Two Mothers

Day 124 of Photo Inspirations – #TBT — Happy Mother’s Day to My Two Mothers
These two precious women, on the left — my mother-in-law, Lydia Wuerch, and on the right, my Mom, Edna Wheat — were my mentors and the greatest influences I could have ever had as Godly women and mothers. Best friends, they were also visionaries.  They KNEW that their two kids were meant for each other.   I owe so much of who I am to them.   They were prayer warriors who didn’t stop until they had an answer.

They literally prayed my husband and I together — and those prayers kept us together.   We watched their own example as they went through tough times, and came through them because of their unwavering faith.  They impressed upon us that tough times don’t last, but tough people who believe in commitment, keeping their promises and vows — that they’ll be honored for keeping them.  How I thank them for their unwavering support and relentless prayers for us.  They not only talked the talk — they walked the walk in their own lives. My Mom is heaven.  Mom2 at age 92 is still here to celebrate this Mother’s Day with me.

So on this Throwback Thursday, I honor them and all they’ve stood for, lived for and set the example for.  By their example, I’ve learned that:

A mother is someone who loves unconditionally and places the needs of her children above her own, and not only with words, but also actions.

A mother is someone who loves and cares for you in every way — even when you don’t deserve it.

A mother is the woman who raises you, who is there to hold and comfort you when you are sick or hurt, the woman who laughs with you, who cries with you, who loves you, even when you aren’t exactly lovable.

A mother goes to whatever means it takes to instill in you that there isn’t anything that you can’t accomplish.  

All that I am and ever hope to be…..I owe it to my mothers!  Happy Mother’s Day, Mom and Mom2!
