A TRIBUTE: MARY STRADER “SHE IS CLOTHED WITH STRENGTH AND DIGNITY, SHE CAN LAUGH AT THE DAYS TO COME. SHE SPEAKS WITH WISDOM, AND FAITHFUL INSTRUCTION IS ON HER TONGUE. HER CHILDREN ARISE AND CALL HER BLESSED.” THESE WORDS SPOKEN IN PROVERBS PAINT A BEAUTIFUL PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN I ADMIRE AND LOVE DEEPLY, MY MOTHER, MARY STRADER. NEVER HAVE I SEEN A MORE MAGNIFICENT HEART THAN THAT OF MY MOTHER.
(few people in) FEW PEOPLE IN A LIFETIME CAN THE KIND OF LASTING IMPRESSION THAT I HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED TO RECEIVE. MY MOTHER BRIGHTENS THE ROOM WITH HER LAUGHTER, AND YET CALMS THE STORM WITH HER SOOTHING AND WISE WORDS. IN ALL HER GRACE AND BEAUTY, SHE IS THE BACKBONE OF MY FAMILY. THROUGH THE HARD DAYS, THE UNCERTANIES, AND THE BLEAKNESS, SHE HAS STOOD STRONG. NOT ONLY HAS SHE RAISED FIVE WONDERFUL CHILDREN ALL BY HERSELF, BUT SHE HAS MADE THE TASK LOOK EASY. (she has been) SHE HAS BEEN THE INSPIRATION IN OUR FAMILY TO KEEP GOING EVEN WHEN WE DO NOT HAVE THE DESIRE.
SHE KEEPS OUR FOCUS NOT ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND US, BUT ON OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, THE ONE WHO IS IN TOTAL CONTROL. SHE HAS SHOWN US AND INSTILLED IN US THAT “FAITH IS THE VICTORY” FOR ALL OF LIFE’S BATTLES. MY MOTHER IS A WOMAN WHO CAN BE GIVEN A LEMON AND MAKE THE MOST DELICIOUS LEMONADE. (through her inspiring) THROUGH HER INSPIRING CREATIVITY SHE TURNS PROJECT HOUSES INTO PALACES.
HER ORIGINALITY AND STYLE ALLOW HER TO CREATE A HOME HER CHILDREN CAN BE PROUD OF. HER ENERGY AND HER AMBITION ARE CONTAGIOUS. MY MOTHER IS FULL OF LOVE AND ALLOWS IT TO RADIATE FROM HER EVERY MOVEMENT. MY MOTHER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FAIL.
The Term Paper on Kate Brown Mother Children Motherhood
... up, and while a woman is always a mother, children need their mothers less and less until eventually their dependence is very minimal. ... nothing like the woman she became after being a mother. Her children reformed her identity and turned her into the woman she ... is what Harriet felt, more and more (57). Mothers can handle having disabled children- they need more time and effort to succeed. ...
SHE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO BE LAZY, AND SHE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO DO LAUNDRY. EVEN THOUGH MOST OF MY WHITE CLOTHES ARE NOW PINK. (most of my) MOST OF MY DARK CLOTHES HAVE BLEACH SPOTS ON THEM, AND MY DELICATES HAVE NEVER BEEN WASHED ON THE DELICATE CYCLE, HER INTENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE O LOVE. SHE INSISTS THAT AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO HELP ME THROUGH COLLEGE IS TO DO MY LAUNDRY.
SHE KNOWS I HAVE LITTLE TIME AND LITTLE MONEY AND SHE RECEIVES JOY AT THE THOUGHT OF MAKING MY LIFE EVEN A LITTLE BIT EASIER. WHO COULD RESIST SUCH AN OFFER FROM SUCH A PURE HEART (my mother is) MY MOTHER IS AN AMAZING PERSON NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS AND QUALITIES SHE HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH, BUT BECAUSE OF THE WAY SHE EXHIBITS THESE ATTRIBUTES TO EVERYONE AROUND HER, ESPECIALLY OUR FAMILY. MY MOTHER DOES NOT SIT BACK AND SIMPLY WATCH HER CHILDREN LIVE THEIR LIVES WITHOUT SHOWING ANY INVOLVEMENT. SHE ACTIVELY PURSUES AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH ONE OF HER FIVE CHILDREN AND SHOWS INTREST IN THEIR LIVES. (she persistently points) SHE PERSISTENTLY POINTS OUT OUR SPECIAL QUALITIES AND CHALLEGNES US TO LIVE UP TO OUR FULL POTENTIAL. THE GREATEST COMPLIMENT THAT I HAVE EVER RECEIVED WAS “YOU REMIND ME OF YOUR MOTHER.” I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN THOSE WORDS.
MY MOTHER IS BEAUTIFUL, GRACEFUL, STRONG, AND A TRUE JOY-GIVER. IT IS AN HONOR TO BE KNOWN AS HER CHILD AND TO HAVE THE HOPE THAT ONE DAY SOMEONE MIGHT SEE A GLIMPSE OF MY WONDERFUL MOTHER IN MY OWN PERSONAL LIFE.
