Open My Eyes That I May See

A little girl in her new Easter dress
Covered her eyes as though a princess
Not to ignore, but in fun to play
Hide and seek in a peek a boo way

And for her I sang a special song
As a single tear trickled along
Memories spilled of a yester year
To flow upon me all so clear

My mothers voice and her piano
As she rejoiced, her face all aglow
Now my eyes have opened and I can see!
T'was love she had been sharing with me!

[Verse 1] A little girl in her new Easter dress Covered her eyes like a princess Not to ignore me, just playing along Hide-and-seek in a peekaboo song [Verse 2] And for her I sang a special song As one small tear came trickling along Memories spilled from a yesteryear And gathered around me, bright and clear [Chorus] My mother's voice, her piano Her laughing face all aglow Now my eyes have opened, and I can see It was love she had been sharing with me [Bridge] The room grew still, the years fell away I heard her hands from another day Every note held what words couldn't say She was giving her heart in her own quiet way [Chorus] My mother's voice, her piano Her laughing face all aglow Now my eyes have opened, and I can see It was love she had been sharing with me [Outro] So I held that child close and sang softly While spring light rested on her sleeve My mother's love was there all along In every tender, remembered song

An oldy to remember
Open My Eyes, That I May See
Clara H. Scott, 1841-1897

Open my eyes, that I may see
glimpses of truth thou hast for me;
place in my hands the wonderful key
that shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Open my ears, that I may hear
voices of truth thou sendest clear;
and while the wave notes fall on my ear,
everything false will disappear.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my ears, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Open my mouth, and let me bear
gladly the warm truth everywhere;
open my heart and let me prepare
love with thy children thus to share.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my heart, illumine me, Spirit divine!

The Remarkable Women of God

Neal A. Maxwell, “The Women of God,” Ensign, May 1978, 10

Divinely determined, in another place and time

Men were given the priesthood and leadership line

Paralleling, then, with an influence for good

The role of mothering was given to womanhood

Both foreordained before foundations of the world

Certain women were given tasks for history unfurled

Divine design brought Mary as the mother of Jesus;

And a woman to retrieve Moses hidden in the bullrush

Their's to demonstrate how a baby is a blessing

With love and promise in the purest form expressing

A mother, Lucy Mack influenced a whole dispensation

While Ruth's love for Naomi taught of loyalty's obligation

Verse 1] Divinely determined, in another place and time Men were given the priesthood and leadership line Paralleling, then, with an influence for good The role of mothering was given to womanhood Both foreordained before foundations of the world Certain women were given tasks for history unfurled [Pre-Chorus] Divine design brought Mary As the mother of Jesus And a woman to retrieve Moses Hidden in the bullrush Their's to demonstrate How a baby is a blessing With love and promise In the purest form expressing [Chorus] Foreordained before the world (before the world) A mother's call was given Foreordained before the world (to bless the living) Mary, Ruth, and every woman Held by heaven's hand (held by heaven's hand) Love and promise rising In the purest form we stand [Verse 2] A mother, Lucy Mack influenced a whole dispensation While Ruth's love for Naomi taught of loyalty's obligation Quiet faith can move a people through the hardest years And faithful hands can answer history with tears When you see a child, you see a gift from God A covenant of tenderness in the road we walk [Bridge] Not lesser, not later But chosen for the hour A hidden kind of power A patient, sacred power To gather, guard, and guide To lift the broken small (guide and lift and gather) And leave a light behind for all [Chorus] Foreordained before the world (before the world) A mother's call was given Foreordained before the world (to bless the living) Mary, Ruth, and every woman Held by heaven's hand (held by heaven's hand) Love and promise rising In the purest form we stand

God, with His perfect regard for women, insists that we give care
Unto the lonely widows who teach us of sacrifice and giving
One, with her last meal and oil, gave it all to Elijah, trusting there...
As, too, the widow's mite exemplifies the principle of  tithing

Imagine Elisabeth, with a babe within to carry
A promise to her fulfilled, though she was beyond in age
Then to know why as her fetus, leapt in recognition of Mary!
This, the greatest sign of anticipation recorded on any page!

Does it not tell us, too, of their intrinsic intelligence
When at the horrid crucifixion scene: the Lord at Calvary
Women suffered in sorrow, extending their love hence
And offered themselves in presence, their lingering... a litany

Keeping hope...filled with spiritual sensitivity
Too, they came to prepare the torn body of Christ
Mary Magdalena kept herself near, in proximity
And witnessed His resurrection, the risen hope of life

Is it no wonder God placed His trust in women
Known to forget their sorrows that comfort might be shown
Thus it is for women to bear and care for God's children
As... their compassionate service seems by instincts to be known

Verse 1] Rocking a child, gently She knows the world won't pass her by For she is holding tomorrow's future Tightly in her arms Throughout the world Comes the shaping sounds of lullabies And the soothing call for peacemaking That sweetly disarms [Pre-Chorus] As women of Zion They know their bodies are not their own So they guard what is sacred And they do not walk alone [Chorus] Women of Zion, rise Women of Zion, shine God has not left you behind Women of Zion, shine Beauty of the earth Blooming where you stand Heaven sees your hands Heaven knows your name [Verse 2] Thus, they refuse To make the sacred womb a dark fetal tomb Ever shaping society With hearts and hands at home Those without husbands or children Or even both Still know that God loves them They are noble and great [Pre-Chorus] That mortality Is but a season of trial, learning, and growth And in eternity Those special blessings await [Chorus] Women of Zion, rise Women of Zion, shine God has not left you behind Women of Zion, shine Beauty of the earth Blooming where you stand Heaven sees your hands Heaven knows your name [Bridge] Eternal partners, as equals Are supportive, sealed together In the temple, before the veil And the altar, the bond becomes clear Of our regal homecoming To our eternal Father and mother She, too, makes preparations Planning sights and sounds we'll hear [Chorus] Women of Zion, rise Women of Zion, shine God has not left you behind Women of Zion, shine Beauty of the earth Blooming where you stand Heaven sees your hands Heaven knows your name

Rocking a child...gently, she knows the world's won't pass her by

For she is holding tomorrow's future tightly in her arms

Throughout the world, comes the shaping sounds of lullabies

And the soothing call for peacemaking that sweetly disarms

As women of Zion, they know their bodies are not their own

Thus, they refuse to make the sacred womb a dark fetal tomb

Ever shaping society by having hearts and hands at home

Thus the beauty of the earth is truly theirs to bloom

Those without husbands or children, or even both

Still know that God loves them,  they are noble and great

That mortality is but a season of trial, learning, and growth,

And that in the eternity those special blessings await

Eternal partners, as equals are supportive...sealed  together

In the temple...before the veil and the altar, the bond becomes clear

Of our regal homecoming, to our eternal Father.... and mother

She, too, makes preparations... planning sights and sounds we'll hear

Thoughts from:

Neal A. Maxwell
The Women of God
Ensign, May 1978, 10

The Heart of America- Mothers

At the heart of America

Are mothers who nurture

In the home love empowers all

To pursue their future

Wise, she knows her gift of time is a small price

Every cleaning, every story, every hug

Every blessed meal, is a selfless sacrifice

To build up souls, each labor speaks of love 

The quiet power of mothers

Is the strength of her faith

She builds courage in her sons and daughters

Life's trials they must face

The mother inspires each child

To pursue their talents within

To budget and manage their time

And to value all that God has given

Melania Trump has a quiet way of speaking in a way that we don't doubt of her strength- her faith.

Dear Mom, "Thank you"

To be kind and to share

Giving Mother Credit on Mother's Day

https://youtu.be/kr9yvt-S9-I.

Mother did what she could
To bring about the good.

She taught me how to face
Life's hardest trials with faith.

Her example did tell
To suffer through and smile.

So, to endure it well,
Out of love, all the while

Mothers don't give up

They know their child's needs

Nurturing much with love

They teach them how to succeed

[Verse 1] Mother did what she could To bring about the good She taught me how to face Life's hardest trials with faith Her hands were worn but kind Her prayers were strong and wide When shadows pulled me low She stood and made me go [Pre-Chorus] Her example did tell To suffer through and smile Out of love, all the while She held me every mile [Chorus] Mothers don't give up They know their child's needs Mothers don't give up They plant the seed (plant the seed) Nurturing much with love They teach them how to succeed Mothers don't give up They know their child's needs [Verse 2] When tears came to my face She never fled the place She'd wipe the storm away And name a brighter day She saw what I could be Before I could believe And every scar I wore She turned to something more [Pre-Chorus] Her example did tell To suffer through and smile Out of love, all the while She held me every mile [Chorus] Mothers don't give up They know their child's needs Mothers don't give up They plant the seed (plant the seed) Nurturing much with love They teach them how to succeed Mothers don't give up They know their child's needs [Bridge] So if I stand today It's from her steady grace The lessons in her hands Still guide me where I land I hear her in my heart When every road is hard She gave me strength to rise And keep my eyes on skies [Final Chorus] Mothers don't give up They know their child's needs Mothers don't give up They plant the seed (plant the seed) Nurturing much with love They teach them how to succeed Mothers don't give up They know their child's needs Mothers don't give up They know their child's needs Mothers don't give up They plant the seed (plant the seed)

Philoteknos- Mother Love

Philoteknos, meaning mother love,

Is given to women from Heaven above

Her nurturing care and tender hands tutor

And point a child to a Christ-like future

In the middle of the night or any time

She is there offering unconditional love

Acceptance, freedom to flail and climb

Teaching faith conquers, they can rise above

Teaching to trust that God has a plan

That there are gifts to seek after

It is more than a mindset of ,"I can"

Teaching to pray and receive an answer 

[Verse 1] Philoteknos, meaning mother love Is given to women from Heaven above Her nurturing care and tender hands tutor And point a child to a Christ-like future [Verse 2] In the middle of the night or any time She is there offering unconditional love Acceptance, freedom to flail and climb Teaching faith conquers, they can rise above [Pre-Chorus] Teaching to trust that God has a plan There are gifts to seek after It is more than a mindset of, I can It's learning to hear You after [Chorus] Philoteknos, hold us close Philoteknos, teach us hope Faith that rises, faith that grows Philoteknos, hold us close (hold us close) [Verse 3] Teaching to pray and receive an answer When doubt gets loud, You steady the heart Every small yes becomes a banner Every bruise becomes a brand-new start [Pre-Chorus] Teaching to trust that God has a plan There are gifts to seek after It is more than a mindset of, I can It's learning to hear You after [Chorus] Philoteknos, hold us close Philoteknos, teach us hope Faith that rises, faith that grows Philoteknos, hold us close (hold us close) [Bridge] When the room goes quiet And the tears stay near You still speak promise You still speak clear (You still speak clear) [Final Chorus] Philoteknos, hold us close Philoteknos, teach us hope Faith that rises, faith that grows Philoteknos, hold us close Philoteknos, hold us close (hold us close)

Question: "What does the Bible say about Christian mothers?"

http://www.gotquestions.org/mothers-Christian.html
"What does the Bible say about Christian mothers?" Got Questions Ministries, n.d. Web.

Answer: Being a mother is a very important role that the Lord chooses to give to many women. A Christian mother is told to love her children (Titus 2:4-5), in part so that she does not bring reproach on the Lord and on the Savior whose name she bears.

Children are a gift from the Lord (Psalm 127:3-5). In Titus 2:4, the Greek word philoteknos appears in reference to mothers loving their children. This word represents a special kind of “mother love.” The idea that flows out of this word is that of caring for our children, nurturing them, affectionately embracing them, meeting their needs, and tenderly befriending each one as a unique gift from the hand of God.

Several things are commanded of Christian mothers in God’s Word:
Availability – morning, noon, and night (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
Involvement – interacting, discussing, thinking, and processing life together (Ephesians 6:4)
Teaching – the Scriptures and a biblical worldview (Psalm 78:5-6; Deuteronomy 4:10; Ephesians 6:4)
Training – helping a child to develop skills and discover his/her strengths (Proverbs 22:6) and spiritual gifts (Romans 12:3-8 and 1 Corinthians 12)
Discipline – teaching the fear of the Lord, drawing the line consistently, lovingly, firmly (Ephesians 6:4; Hebrews 12:5-11; Proverbs 13:24; 19:18; 22:15; 23:13-14; 29:15-17)
Nurture – providing an environment of constant verbal support, freedom to fail, acceptance, affection, unconditional love (Titus 2:4; 2 Timothy 1:7; Ephesians 4:29-32; 5:1-2; Galatians 5:22; 1 Peter 3:8-9)
Modeling with Integrity – living what you say, being a model from which a child can learn by “catching” the essence of godly living (Deuteronomy 4:9, 15, 23; Proverbs 10:9; 11:3; Psalm 37:18, 37).

The Jar

Our mother waits
On both sides of the veil
She visits graves
And all of us without fail

I have seen her place flowers into a mason jar and put special stuff on it so the deer won't eat the tasty flowers. Then she distributes them to loved ones at the cemetery who have passed on.  Then she waits for calls and visits from all of us. That is her Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Who Could it Be . . . ? By: SPC Crippen, Joshua Frost

Who was it that carried me and gave me birth

Allowing my entry into this beautiful earth?






Who patiently taught me when I was newly born

And helped rebuild my feelings when they were torn?






When I learned to walk and my shoes I first tied

Who was always watching over me, staying by my side?






When I was bad and sometimes angrily went to bed

Who pointed out all the good I’d done and said?






Who set the example as I dealt with all my strife

Enabling me to deal with the challenges in this mortal life?






Who lifted me up with strength greater than their own

And I could always turn to whenever I was alone?






Who was that heavenly angel sent from above

That helped me with care and filled me with love?






I know it's someone who could endure and work harder than any other

So unique, wonderful and one of a kind, my very special Mother.
















Joshua Frost Crippen is an army combat medic working in the states at a clinic, pediatrics section.  He says he is in heaven :) because the closest thing to heaven are children.  This is not his only poem so check the label to see if I have posted more.

Thank you Brother Crippen and thanks to your mother for inspiring this beautiful poem.

Mother's Day - A Tribute To Mothers - Gayatrivantillu - Indian Recipes -...

Mother, don't give up.
You know your son's needs.
Nurture him with love.
And teach him to succeed.

Mothers don't give up

You know your child's needs

Nurture much with love

And teach how to succeed

It is Fitting

It is fitting that we celebrate
Our mothers on the Sabbath day
And express how we appreciate
All the sacrifices she has made

For without her where would we be?
And without Christ where would we go?
Our ties go on for eternity
Because of our Savior, I know!

All I am

All I am I owe to Eve
The mother of all living
For us, she fell, I believe
Selflessly, she was giving

All I am I owe also
To my mother who gave me birth
Who taught me all I know
About honesty and self worth

All I am I owe to Christ
Who one day will call me home
To live eternal life
With all the mothers known

To Every Mother

A mother is born

With the babies first cry

Prepared through labor

Her breast stirs in reply

Home is a Feeling

Home is not a place
It's a feeling,
It's a warm embrace,
Safe for healing

Home is where you are known

Life's memories lie there

It is where love is shown

And you let down your hair

 Prather, California 

A Mother

A Mother is...

A mother is as soft as a rose
Her kiss tickles my wee nose
Her sweet lullabies tenderly teach
As her eyes speak of love with each

A mother is as warm as a throw
As a snuggle safe to know
On her lap her arms wrap me up close
And I stay awake...well almost
