❤️ INSPIRED UTTERANCE ❤️
grandmother, and great-grandmother.

❤️
Oh! To be like the Proverbs 31 woman in the Holy Bible.
❤️
I dreamed of the day “my children would rise up and call me blessed.” Things don’t always happen the way we plan. I cringe when my adult kids share stories of me being a much-less-than-perfect-mom because I remember those stories in a completely different way. Forgiveness is a gift we all need.
❤️
I have four adult children. Two are homemade and two are made in China, adopted, chosen children. They changed my life and made me stretch and grow. I learned a lot from being their mom. I love them with all my heart.
❤️
Some say our chosen children are “lucky” to be adopted into our family.
That is a very hurtful thing to say to a chosen child.
STOP saying that.
Tell the others.
Our family needed our chosen children as much as they needed us.
I have four extraordinary grandchildren:
Joshua, Megan Jewell, Emily Grace and Caleb.
I love them with all my heart.
❤️
Now I am a great-grandmother
to Rosie Jewell and Theodore.
I love them with all my heart.

Today is May 31, 2023.
This morning I read Proverbs 31.
There is a proverb for every day of the month.
❤️ The Word of God is new and fresh
and as exciting to me today
as it was 50 years ago
when I asked Jesus to forgive my sins
and accepted Him as my savior
on the last verse of the last song
at a Wednesday night revival
at Waldo Avenue Baptist Church.
Carrie Miller was the evangelist.
❤️
That Easter Sunday night 1973,
my Granny Lucille and I were baptized in obedience to Christ to follow him in believer’s baptism,
and as a public example of our faith in Jesus Christ.
❤️ Granny Lucille wore tennis shoes
so she didn’t slip on the baptismal stairs.
It was holy and hilarious.

❤️ Just this morning I realized the insights in Proverbs 31
were actually spoken by a mother to her son.
Geez. All these years how could I have missed that?
When did you write THAT in the Bible, God?
❤️
❤️
Proverbs 31
King Lemuel’s mother gave
inspired utterances to him.
So she is the one!
❤️
We need more mothers like the mother of King Lemuel.
I want to find her when I get to heaven
and thank her for her inspired utterance.
Oh! To be like the Proverbs 31 woman!
❤️ .
Meghan Trainer agrees with me.
I am your mother.
Listen To Me.
