Eulogy for Mother :: Eulogies Eulogy

Eulogy for MotherMy mother gave me a very special gift before she left. A gift that I dont need to decide how to pass down & divide evenly to my 3 beautiful children (her grandchildren Jessica, Emily and Julia) A gift that I dont need to get at about keeping on a safe shelf so it doesnt break. My mother (and father) gave me the gift of faith. Anyone who knew my mother knew she always prayed. Over these past some old age my brothers and I have discussed this and wondered how many hours during the daylight she prayed. Weve concluded it wasnt how many hours she prayed, but how many minutes during the day she wasnt praying. Id tell my mom about someone nauseating in my family, or a friend of mine or my husband Jerrys friends and when Id talk to her the next day shed say, hows so and so doing - Ive been praying for them. Over these past few weeks Ive interpretd the power of prayer & the power of my mothers prayers. For I had this special peace before and during this holiday season. I didnt get holidayitis as my brothers well know this term. I wasnt stressed out and I kept saying, there are 12 days of Christmas. This peace allowed us to have such a wonderful Christmas day with my mother and I know she enjoyed it greatly & saw the peace in me. That day was the last time I saw my mother and again, I realize now how her prayers were answered. For how much better does a departure from this worldly existence get by seeing and talking to your family for the last time on Christmas day, talk her final words to her grandchildren by saying I love you for that is how she always said goodbye to them, and in her final momentspraying with her beloved husband of 57 years. And odour around you now at this church-the celebration of the birth of Christ and everlasting life. Today when I cry Im not crying for my mother for she always told us Dont worry about me when I die, Ill be very happy with the Lord.
