Print Mother's Love
by Vonette BrightI'm indebted to my mother. She's always been my cheerleader. She signed me up for all kinds of lessons so I'd be confident in front of an audience, speaking or singing. She held the standard high.
My mother was a lighthouse where she lived. She cared about me and everything I've ever done. If I could phone her now, she'd be curious about what I'm doing. She rejoiced with me at every opportunity. And she was that way with my children, and theirs.
If you find yourself at home today with children and you wonder if it matters, let me encourage you. Nothing you'll ever do is as important as being with your children . . . pouring your life and energy into them. Maybe not today, but sooner than you think, they'll thank and honor you. Just as I do my mother.
Vonette Bright, from "WOMEN TODAY with Vonette Bright" presents Be a Lighthouse Where You Live. In 1998, Vonette's mother went to be with the Lord.
