Who Am I?

   As today approached, Mother's Day, my mind flooded as though a tsunami had surged, leaving piles and memories tangled about.  It has always been a special day; as a child I would anxiously look forward to doing something for or with my mother.  Through the years there were countless church Mother/Daughter banquets.  As the years have tumbled along and I myself became a mother it brought a new sense of special feelings and responsibility.  Yet for the past 31 years my focus was still on my own dear mother, she is truly priceless.  She sat before me the example of servitude and hospitality.  Most importantly though, to faithfully follow Christ, in good times and in difficult ones, regardless to stand strong, stand firm, stay faithful to the Cross.  Through the years she faithfully has prayed for me everyday of my life and for my children as well.
   Today was different, yes I still treasure my Momma and spoke with her several times this week, but different in that it was broadened.  Today could have been so different had God taken Nathan  home back in December.  Though I feel completely unworthy I am grateful beyond expression that He chose to allow me the most blessed meaningful Mother's Day I have ever experienced.  He chose that I could have
all three of my children and my mother, though not all physically together the strong bonds of child mother were throughly enjoyed.
   While considering the graciousness of God and all He has given me this Mother's Day a song come to mind that i'd like to share.

WHO AM I?

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth

Would care to know my name

Would care to feel my hurt

Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star

Would choose to light the way

For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am

But because of what You've done

Not because of what I've done

But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow

A wave tossed in the ocean

Vapor in the wind

Still You hear me when I'm calling

Lord, You catch me when I'm falling

And You've told me who I am

I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin

Would look on me with love and watch me rise again

Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea

Would call out through the rain

And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am

But because of what You've done

Not because of what I've done

But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow

A wave tossed in the ocean

Vapor in the wind

Still You hear me when I'm calling

Lord, You catch me when I'm falling

And You've told me who I am

I am Yours

Not because of who I am

But because of what You've done

Not because of what I've done

But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow

A wave tossed in the ocean

Vapor in the wind

Still You hear me when I'm calling

Lord, You catch me when I'm falling

And You've told me who I am

i am Yours

I am Yours

Whom shall I fear

Whom shall I fear

'Cause I am Yours

I am Yours
