Today my friends, it is the twenty-ninth day of the eighth month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore). I am dedicating this week to the memory of a woman who inspired me to be all that I can be. Martha Stanley February 23, 1937-August 30, 2007 (three score and ten). Everyday I see her handprints on my heart, in my daily activities, in my thoughts, my actions, as I seek a closer walk with my heavenly father. A Life that was a living sacrifice, not seeking her own pleasure but Gods. Her incredible resilient spirit, her tenacity, her humble demeanor could have only come from God. She was like an ignition for purpose. She created reasons for others to rise up and do something. Unprecedented events, this single mother sponsored and each one was a success. She brought out talents and abilities in people they often did not realize was there.
In the face of pressure, she did not flintch, when others would have broken, she kept it together. My mother, the mother of many, she was a true legend. The impact of her life is still evident. There are many Singers, musicians, Artists, business people and men and women of God who have found their way and found their purpose because of her. As I journey through my own life, I am so grateful that the life that was lived before me by my mother is a witness to possibilities. A witness of integrity and comitment. Her life is proof that anyone can make it, single, married, widowed, whatever your plot in life, you can make it. Without deception, you can make it. The mother of five children, an absentee father and husband, determination, will and faith that can move mountains, Martha M. Stanley lived her Three-score and Ten. I am confident that when she closed her eyes, I she was pleased and ready to enter the REST of eternity.
A life remembered....Thank you God for Martha M. Stanley, A CERTAIN Woman. My greatest inspiration.
