Tribute to Mom
Feels too soon to be writing this to Mom, having just done the same a year ago for Dad, KABIOSI OLUWA!
As i think of the last year and Moms call to Glory, one word keeps resonating within me.
Perspective, having a right, godly perspective, a perspective of thankfullness as instructed by Paul:
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
(I Corinthians 15:57 NKJV)
Even though it was a tough year for the family, mom especially, still we have cause to give thanks to God the Father for the life, love, faith, influence and accomplishments of our sweet mother, my first and greatest champion, a selfless giver, educationist, lover of God and man, a true woman of virtue who by very godly principles lived her life, built her home, raised her children, pursued her career (as she always said with dogged determination ) and served her generation.
There is a lot I can say about you mom: your loving smile; your infectious laughter; your hugs; the special way you had of doing and saying the right thing at the right time....i think a uniquely special gift of Godly mothers, these and so many aspects of you i will miss.
But Praise God we do not mourn as one who has no hope for our hope and consolation is knowing that you are safe and well in The Fathers bossom, knowing that as much as we love and miss you here on earth, and as much as you loved us, you would not want to return here having tasted of the glories of Heaven, and so we rejoice with you Mom, yes we rejoice as we celebrate your life, for you are now home with Jesus.
Dearest mom,
You have fought the good fight of faith,
You have finished your race, You have kept the faith.
Now, You have received the crown of righteousness prepared for you, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, has given to you.
And not to You only but also to all who love His appearing.
(II Timothy 4:7-8 NKJV)
And so, I trust in our God and saviour to see you, Dad and many other dearly departed ones again someday.
Rest well, till then my precious Mom ❤
Loving you always,
Deji, Moji, Tobi, Towi & Coco the dog
