For HER price is far above rubies!

God sent, that’s my mother. The one who was sent to nurture me, who molded me into the person I am today. The woman who put a house over our heads, food on the table, and worked long hours to be able to take care of 6 children. My mother who “openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.” - Proverbs 31:26. There are many lessons that I hold dearly in my heart that my mother taught me, but one of the most valuable ones I have is that she taught us growing up that we had to work hard to overcome obstacles, to never give up because we’d never be able to overcome those barriers by sitting around complaining. She didn’t just say this, we saw it in her actions everyday growing up. My mother having to raise the 6 of us never complained about anything, she trusted God to guide her and never gave up. She is a hard working, independent woman who did anything for us. She never complained about having to raise us alone, never complained about having to work, and still after long hours at work day or night, she didn’t complain about having to take care of us and always made time for us. We’ve all gone through so many things, but that lesson that she taught us, that we saw with our own eyes, motivates us to work for what we want to accomplish to this day. Was she ever disappointed of how things went? No. At least she didn’t show it because she didn’t sit and give up, she worked and put her all in everything she did, to raise us into the persons we are today.
