Today, four years ago today, we bid my Mom's physical body farewell. Surrounded by friends, family and loved ones, we gave our final salute to our legend. Today, on this seventh day of the ninth month in the year R&;R(ReCover&ReStore), I celebrate her life. I salute her one more time, I arise and call her blessed. The life of a CERTAIN woman who impacted the lives of so many. A woman who loved the sound of music, who loved people, who loved to love. One of her favorite songs was Since I met Jesus, a favorite scripture, Psalms 121- I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills... Today, as a memorial to Mom, I would love to hear some of your memories of Mom, Mother Stanley, A Certain Woman. Post them on facebook or send an email....Thanks Mom for the Memories...and all the lessons!!!!
Momma Mels Memories are below...TODAY IS………….…..; REJOICE & BE GLAD!!!!
I TOO AM IN REMEMBRANCE OF MARY MARTHA, MY FRIEND, WE SHARED MANY THOUGHTS AND FOUND OUT ON MANY WE THOUGHT ALIKE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR FUTURE. ANYWAY I THINK OF HER OFTEN, THE AGAPE LOVE FOR SHE SHARED WITH ALL; SHE EVEN WENT OUTSIDE OF HER CIRCLE TO BRING SOME INTO HER CIRCLE THAT I HAVE REJECTED, NO NOT MARY MARTHA.
I CAN ALMOST HEAR HER LAUGHING ABOUT JASMINE FUSSING AT HER ABOUT JOHN-JOHN AFTER SHE HAD GOTTEN ON JOHN-JOHN FOR SOMETHING OR ANOTHER. I ENJOYED HAVING A SENSE OF HUMOR WITH HER FOR LAUGHTER TRULY IS MEDICINE. SHE HAD A SENSE OF HUMOR I BELIEVE WE ALL ENJOYED, NO HOLDS BARRED SHE SAID LIKE IT WAS, LIKE IT OR DUMP IT!
ON WANTING SOMETHING SHE KNEW SHE COULDN’T HAVE: “HEY SOMEBODY, GIMME SOME CANDY”; “SISTER MIDDELTON, DON’T LISTEN TO THEM, GIVE ME SOME CANDY!” “LADONNA GIMME SOME WATER’”, :GARY, YOU CAN GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT OF WATER, I’M THIRSTY!”; “HEY SOMEBODY………!” ON CALLING ME IN THE WEE HRS. OF THE MORNING: “SISTER MIDDLETON, GARY AND LADONNA HIT ME”; “SISTER MIDDLETON WHAT YOU DOING?” (IF I DON’T SLEEP AIN’T NOBODY GONNA SLEEP!); IN COACHING AJ TO FIGHT: “AJ, HIT HIM IN THE FACE!”. A MORE SOMBER MOMENT: “LADONNA IS MY BEST FRIEND.” “I FEEL ALRIGHT.” ; IN A SPIRITUAL TEACHING MOMENT: “JESUS IS LOVE.”; ON FORNICATING/ADULTERY: “THAT’S JUST NASTY.”; IN A BORED MOMENT IN CHURCH: “JUST PREACH!”; “HEY LADONNA….” ALL WHILE RIDING THROUGH THE STORM………………………..LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL!
Great Memories -A lesson of wisdom from the Words and Life of Mother Martha Stanley - A CERTAIN Woman.
