Many days have passed away,AS today, is Mother's day This day made me to put my thoughts on blog once again. I am thinking of my mother, an abode of patience, love and child like heart. Never complaining, never in negative mood, all forgiving mom.
she come to know of Christ after much struggle against to invite Him into her life. Though she professed that there is no other God except Jesus Christ, she developed a strange annoyance towards all the pastors and nominal Christians, saying that they are money blogger, and unrighteous people. She even used to sing a mock song on pastors , depicting how they teach morals on the pulpit of church but never practice it in their lives. She often used to say, that the Bible is hard to understand , especially the Old Testament.
Yet strangely she was the one who advised to pray , to come out of a peril I was involved during the final year exams of the Graduation degree.
I obeyed her word and that was the first time God spoke to me through His word.
She was adamant to take away the Hindu mark from her forehead, for a long time, but after i resigned the job as an Air hostess in Air India because I did not like to oblige the rule of putting that mark on my forehead as an uniform of the Air hostess. she started to realize that she should be obedient to God and take away that mark from her forehead, Only then God started to melt her heart, and started to talk to her about her soul. Till then she would never understand the Bible or any spiritual things.
My resignation from that highest post from Air India, made my relatives to understand the spiritual things of life. And they started to attend the church, among them my aunty and her children are there along with my mom and sisters .
Now my dear mom started to seek the Lord with all her heart, she was a very self righteous woman, all ways hating those who speak lies, or speak vulgar language, She used to be very neat and tidy in her personal habits, and outwardly used to her disgust nature if any body is not clean.
She sought the kingdom of God earnestly, and one day God spoke to her in a strange dream , wherein she was in the pool of fire, and angels came and rescued her, then she fall into a great flood, and again angels came and rescued her.
In fact it was so vivid , she was trembling by the time she woke up from the bed, later she regained her guts, as that was the sunday, she went to the church and told about the dream to a great saint of God Br. Solomon , he explained to her that it is the word of God and that is fulfilled in her life and showed it in the Bible.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. Isiah 43:2

She was filled with joy, but she had this assurance of salvation only after my dad got his assurance.
Thus she was the last member in our home to come to the Lord.
But since she accepted Christ as her saviour and the Lord of her life, she never looked back or i never saw her show any single step of backsliding.
She started to have regular hours of prayer and Bible reading , and all these years of 35 years of her walk with the Lord, she never skipped one day.
She is a praying mother, silently, steadily, in her own way all ways pray in the will of God. She may not have great vocobulary to utter, but her prayer is sincere and from the heart. There is circle of her prayer on each member of our family everyday. She prays for each member in the family early in the morning as soon as she got up from the bed, around 4 am for an hour or two. reads her Bible, and then takes her early hour coffee.
She was faithful to the church she was attached, and never skipped it in her life . only now as she is bedridden she could not go to the church. She used to take lunch box and stay in the church till evening, and share her testimony to the older and poor women in the church during those afternoons.
She used to enjoy the Children retreats, youth retreats, and any other celebrations of the church immensely as a little child. Now as her knees do not cooperate with her to walk, even now she never complains but speaks to me on phone very happily telling me she is good and happy and that i should be happy with my grand children, and adds that I wont be happy living alone, and says that i will be much happeir if I am with these little children as they are the images of God.
Now as she is in her late 70s, almost nearing 80th year, she has some forgetfulness of short term memory, but she never forgets her grand children, and their names. she asks me every time about my grandchildren and about their parents by name.
Such is the angel of my mother. I love her so much, and this is a little tribute to her life.
