Wally and Ruth Moede’s Wedding picture at the very top!
We want to wish all the Mom’s in the world Happy Mother’s day!!! Too many will be having their first Mother’s Day without their sons and daughters due to death. Our heart weeps for them, our prayers are with them and the entire family. I have done too many funerals in the last 2 1/2 years of parents burying a child. I also want us to remember all the single Mom’s throughout the world who work so very hard to provide for their children. When I hired a single Mom during my radio days, they were the hardest workers!!! Sharon and I have a special place in our hearts for single Mom’s. We are all one in Christ, let us not forget. While many celebrate, many mourn.
My Mom lives in my heart, soul and mind every second of my day. She was called home so young, 64 years of age, as was my Daddy. How can I thank them enough for raising me up in a Christian home? Teaching me right from wrong! Showing me love at but correcting me when needed. Mom was a lot like my angel wife Sharon, having what I call ‘QUIET STRENGTH!” I do not have the words on how much I love my Mom, I owe her my life. How do I thank her? How do I thank my Dad and how do I thank ther LORD? I try to spread the joy of the Lord and family everyday. I try to apply what the LORD and my parents taught me everyday. I still make mistakes, but I go forward. There is a place in my heart that still aches that Mom and Dad are not here. BUT! I will see them again! PTL! I had the worlds best parents and I try to pass that down to all.
I still remember one day running home from school with a hand full of dandelions that I had picked! Mom acted liked I had handed her a billion bucks! But it was real love, like a billion bucks of love! Amen!
I wrote this for Mother’s Day 2014!!!!
Most of our generation were HOME SCHOOLED in many ways. Amen to that! Pictured to the left is my Mom, Ruth Irene Moede. This is her High School graduation picture. She was an angel on earth, now an angel in heaven. Pictured at the very top is Mom and Dad on their wedding day! MY HEROES FOREVER AND EVER!!! THANK YOU LORD FOR MY MOM AND DAD! They taught me so much LORD! INTEGRITY!!!!!! HARD WORK!!!! LOYALTY!!! WE ARE ALL CREATED EQUALLY IN YOU LORD!!!!!!!
They called my Mom back home, ‘Wally’s shadow’, but what they did not know is that Mom was right by Dad’s side helping him in everything he did and also cooking at the school and teaching us kid’s right from wrong, along with Dad. The All-American family. Mom and Dad working together in raising and providing for a family.
Some of you will find the below funny, but I think you also will relate to this as to what your folks taught you. You see, a top reason why America is in such sad shape is the home, the family is being ripped to shreds. You could pass a boat load of legislation to rule over the family but unless people are connected to God it just means continued failure. You see as many tell me, I had an All-American, Midwest childhood, in Windom, Minnesota!!! Many of my buddies say I grew up in Mayberry, with Sheriff Andy, Aunt Bea and Opie! Nothing better than that! God now has me at FGGAM using my life to share what ‘can be’ with God.
