I'm thankful to God for my mother, who – for the lifetime that I've known here – has ever been a source of encouragement and life.
Time and again, I've seen her sacrifice time, health, and money, to help those in need.
For myself, personally, no matter how many times I've messed up or failed; no matter how many times I've felt depressed or utterly worthless; she has always blessed me, in both word and deed, and shown me what a true Christian looks like.
