Happy Mother’s Day!
God has richly blessed me with loving mothers. Mothers plural because my birth mother, who passed away just over a year ago, was such a blessing to me. She gave me life, nurtured me, and led me to her Savior. She did her best to raise me to be a follower of her Lord Jesus Christ.
My children’s mother has been an even greater blessing to me. She has been with me through difficult times and wonderful times. We’ve traveled the States as newly weds and the world as missionaries. She serves selflessly and always looks to do more than expected of her. God has blessed me because Dawn is a wonderful companion and co laborer.
I always think of the male of the species as a big kid who’d be totally lost without a loving mother or wife by his side. God gives the man leadership, strength, and the responsibility of headship in the family. But, without a good woman by his side his job would be an epic struggle of hardship. Thank you Father for a good mother (Venna Ardis Forshee Jewell) who is now with you in glory. Thank you Father for a great wife (Dawn Marie Koch Jewell) who is still here in the struggle with me. I couldn’t do it without her nor would I want to.
