A Tribute To Our Mother And Grandmother, Eula McCary:
In Proverbs 31 we see the virtues of a Godly wife and mother. We honor our mother with the following scriptures:
“She opens her mouth with wisdom and her tongue is the law of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children ride up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Many daughters have done well, but you excel them all. Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of fruit of your hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.” Proverbs 31:26-31.
These scriptures truly describe our precious mother and our grandmother, known as “Nana” to all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a precious child of God and was such a woman of faith. How thankful we are that God has taken her from here sick body to her Heavenly home to suffer no more and live in perfect health and happiness.
We thank God for the many years God allowed us to have our “Nana.” We will miss you, Nana, but you know your rewards are great in Heaven. Thank you for loving all of us in our individual ways and showing us how much you cared. We love you, Nana!
