One thing I am truly grateful for is the loving mother I was born to. When she was here in her earthly form, I told her several times (even though not enough) “I wouldn’t rather have been born into any other family or rather have had another mom!” Many a time I wasn’t as loving or helpful to her as I should’ve been, for which I truly regret. I think despite my shortcomings, my mom saw in me a desire to do good, and always had a lot of faith in me. At times when we would disagree she would never get upset, but had patience and faith that the Lord would see each of us kids through.

One case in particular comes to mind. A few years ago when I got into trouble I came to mom for guidence, and everything worked out in the following weeks. It wasn’t till a few months later when I found mom’s prophecy book did I see what transpired. The day I need help she spent part of the night really pouring out her heart to Jesus in prayer, which took a lot of her time and energy, considering she had a long meeting the next day. From this little experience I saw how much undying love mom had for each of us kids.

Another thing that I still can’t comprehend is the tremendous burden my mom had to reach every C…… she would meet. She truly gave her life for them. I can still remember her taking the bus from Dong Guan every few days and staying at a friends house, it must have been really tough of her, at least phsically. But it really paid off. My mom once met this guy who was very adamant, a tough nut to crack. Well, we would meet him once a year in the park to pound him with the Word to keep him through till the next pounding. Toward the end he started to come around. I’d say mom’s persistence, faith, and love for the people really were the key to her winning so many to the Lord.

To mom: I love you, and pray we all stay attune to your checks as the days get darker. Thanks for always being there for me!
