My mom taught me about redemption. She taught me about searching out the hidden value in people. She taught me about righteousness. She taught me about grace. She taught me about faithfulness. She taught me about commitment.

She has overcome the world. Really.

She makes me laugh. She believes in conspiracies. Her home is a place of peace. She pours herself out for each of us in every imaginable way. She is the best grandmother I’ve ever seen.

I rise up today and call her blessed.

I thank God for you everyday, momma. You are God’s grace to me.
