Belmont’s Nathan Grant thrives on volunteering By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
You might say that Nathan Grant of Belmont is a volunteer’s volunteer. That’s because he throws himself bulldog strong into making other people smile. Grant loves volunteering. He devotes hours to it. During the Christmas season he dons a Santa Claus outfit and goes around spreading holiday cheer. He’s also been known to show up as Blackbeard the pirate. Sometimes he sits at a poker table with senior citizens. Whatever it takes to brighten someone’s day, Grant is the man for the job. Last Wednesday night, Grant was presented with a United Way Volunteer Gaston Award at a special ceremony. “Oh, man, that was something,” Grant said. “I was kinda surprised and afraid I was going to have to make a
speech.” That humility, plus a compassionate heart, is the driving force behind Grant. One of Grant’s chief volunteer venues is at the Gaston County Department of Health & Human Services’ The Center of Mt. Holly, for-
merly the East Gaston Adult Day Care Center. Many is the time he has popped in as Santa or Blackbeard or joined the male clients there at the card table. “Nathan is a dedicated and compassionate volunteer that See VOLUNTEER, Page 2
Pat Brennan’s Rivermen Brewing Co., was the first brewery in our area when it opened its doors in 2015. Now, nearly five years later, Brennan is still brewing top quality craft beer and serving up great eats at his breweryrestaurant at the end of Ervin St. in downtown Belmont. Brennan started his brewing career in the former Spectrum Dyed Yarns mill in East Belmont. He credits his dad for sparking the interest in suds. “My dad started homebrewing in the early 1990s and I learned from him,” Brennan said. “He was my gateway into homebrewing.” After many years of making beer at home, the leap to brewing it for sale seemed a natural one. “My friends would come over every time I made some and drink it up,” Brennan said. That first setup Brennan built in Belmont was what he called a “mini version of a Rivermen Brewery founder Pat Brennan in the Ervin St. brewlarge scale brewery”. ery restaurant. Beer is brewed on site in the huge tanks behind See RIVERMEN, Page 2 him.
Stanley American Legion Post 266 home to two rare books By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
Two rare books relating to our area’s contribution to the WWII effort are at the American Legion Post 266 in Stanley. Actually, the volumes are scrapbooks. One is filled with WWII period newspaper clippings from area publications and the other is a bound volume of the newspaper that Post 23 in Gastonia put our dur-
ing the war. Both are filled with familiar local family names and the faces of folks from Gaston County who were serving in the military all over the war-torn globe. The books also highlight what was happening on the home front in Gaston as well. US Navy veteran and US Airways captain Lucy Young was featured on the front page of the April 18, 2019 edition of the BannerNews and is Post 266 historian.
“The books are fascinating,” Young said. “They show the local impact that WWII had and the people that fought for us. It was a total effort.” The first book of news clips was compiled from June-September 1945 by DAR member Mrs. Roscoe Spencer. The book has hundreds upon hundreds of story and photo clips giving information on local service personnel, where they were See RARE BOOKS, Page 8

VOLUNTEER From Page 1 has a heart for serving the participants at The Center,” said Melinda Silvers, activity director. “Not only does he invest his time in helping others at The Center, but he also has donated a turkey for the participants to eat at Thanksgiving, fresh cut pine Christmas wreaths and Krispy Kreme donuts. He always provides a helping hand helping whenever it is needed.” Karen Creech, program supervisor at The Center, nominated Grant for the Volunteer Award.
“Nathan has volunteered at The Center for three years,” Creech said. “During the past year, he has given more than 100 hours of his time. He is dependable, compassionate, and cares about the participants in the program. Having a volunteer like Nathan is an asset that has truly made a difference in the lives of the people we serve.” Grant reflected on how he got involved portraying Santa. “Ever since I was a kid in second grade I wanted to be Santa,” he said. “I used a dia-
per for a beard. Being Santa gets in your blood.” Grant gets a kick out of the reactions when he’s on the Santa trail. “It’s great when kids say they met the real Santa.” he said. “I’ve got a real beard and the kids like to pull it.” Grant’s Blackbeard impression also draws attention. “I come to The Center for Halloween and enjoy meeting the kids that visit and the clients too, ” he said. “Sometimes I wear the costume to local stores and restaurants and people ask if I’m a real pirate.” Besides dressing up, Grant also enjoys going on field trips and out to eat with folks from The Center. “I enjoy being with them,” he said.

RIVERMEN From Page 1 Even when he was in the small Spectrum mill space, Brennan wanted to expand. That idea grew and grew and in 2016 he opened at the Ervin St. location which was Belmont’s first combination brewery and restaurant. The current Rivermen Brewing building dates to the 1940s and Brennan’s place occupies around 10,000 sq. ft. A lot of work went into making the mill ready for Rivermen. In addition to refurbishing the hardwood floors, and even using some sections of wood to make dining tables out of, Brennan’s workers sandblasted old paint off interior brick walls and repaired many of the mill’s blue glass windows. An outdoor seating area was also built so that folks can see the Belmont Trolley go by when it becomes operational. Brennan brews large quantities of beer in huge 600 gallon tanks right on site. The
tanks are made of stainless steel and stand over ten feet tall. The tanks and fermenters are in a 50x27-foot glassed in area in the main dining room so customers can see the brewing process in person. Taking the step from his humble beginnings to where Rivermen Brewing is today has been rewarding for Brennan, but it has also brought challenges. Learning about the food/drink connection was the main one. “We started with aggressive farm to table offerings but discovered people were coming in for beer and not necessarily a culinary experience,” Brennan said,. “The two did not marry well.” So, Brennan and his staff went back to the basics. “Now we have a simpler menu,” He said. “Everything is still made from scratch and fresh but it’s more Buffalo inspired. That means things like Buffalo chicken sandwich,

off for Rivermen. “We’re here and excited,” Brennan said. “We see new faces in here every day.” According to Brennan, he hopes to hold a Rivermen Brewing fifth anniversary blast in June. “I hope to see old and new friends,”’ he says. “We plan to be here for years to come.”

YMCA encourages families to prioritize water safety Pesesky, Stowe Family YMCA Aquatics Director. “Drowning is the secondleading cause of accidental death for kids ages 1 to 14, claiming the lives of three children each day. Learning basic water safety skills saves lives, and is a great introduction to the world of swimming.” As part of National Water Safety Month in May, the Gaston County Family YMCA encourages parents to take an active role in fostering a relationship between their children and
swimming—beginning with water safety. Following are safety tips to practice when in and around the water: Only swim when and where there is a lifeguard on duty; never swim alone. Adults should constantly and actively watch their children in and around water. Inexperienced or non-swimmers should wear a Coast Guardapproved life jacket. Parents or guardians of young children should be within an arm’s reach. Children and adults should not engage in breath-holding activities.
In addition to learning lifesaving water safety skills, children can increase their physical activity by swimming. Swimming motivates children to strive for selfimprovement, teaches goal orientation and cultivates a positive mental attitude and high self-esteem. As a prominent nonprofit committed to youth development, the Y has long been a leader in providing swim and water safety lessons. Y programs are available for children as young as 6 months to become comfort-
able in the water in a parent/ child environment. Progressive swim lessons guide children through six stages of learning to ensure they are safe in and around the water. The Y is committed to water safety for all. This
Water Safety Month, save lives by enrolling in swim lessons or giving to the Y. To learn more about the Gaston County Family YMCA swim programs, please visit https://www.gastonymca. org/programs/aquatics/

Mount Holly Police Department K9 Hondo celebrates ninth birthday When K9 Officer Hondo arrived at work on Monday, he was greeted with birthday decorations and doggie ice cream to celebrate his 9th birthday. It’s a ‘ruff’ life, but somebody has to do it. K9 Hondo is a 9-year-old Tervuren Shepherd and is a certified multi-purpose Patrol K9 with the Mount Holly Police Department. Hondo is assigned to his current handler, Sergeant Austin Cox. Hondo enjoys his days on duty and his time spent at training. He began with the department in November 2012. On Monday, April 22 members of the Mount Holly Police Department celebrated his 9th birthday. The Mount Holly Police Department currently em-
ploys two multipurpose K9 officers. After completion of a comprehensive training program, a multipurpose K9 has the ability to detect the presence of various narcotics which assist in numerous felony and misdemeanor arrests. Additionally, these working dogs have the ability to track missing people or suspects involved in criminal activity or locate items that would be considered evidence in a criminal investigation. Up to this point, Hondo has been utilized for 148 total deployments. Hondo and Sergeant Cox enjoy providing educational demonstrations for the American Cancer Society’s Bark For Life event, local schools,
and church groups. Hondo has had a successful career thus far and has proven that he is a great asset to the community. Typically a police K9 is employed until they are ten years old. Upon retirement, the K9 is given to his handler to live out the remainder of his years. Hondo also enjoys his days off spent with his handler and family. He enjoys walks, swimming, and rolling in the grass. He will spend countless hours chewing his Kong and fetching sticks in the yard. Considering Hondo is an older dog and his retirement is approaching, he also enjoys napping on his days off.

ROUND UP SHELBY, NC STORE 704-482-7431
www.roundupshelby.com
I begin each morning praying, “God fill me that I may be a demonstration of Jesus love in the world today.” In the evenings I pray through the Examen asking, “God, where did I see you most today. And where did I seem most distant from you?” Yesterday I saw God in an older man who works at the Mountain Island Walmart in Charlotte on Mount Holly-Huntersville Road. He spoke words into my life that brought tears to my eyes. I was purchasing a plant in the flower department. He stopped ringing the order and looked into my eyes. He said, “There is something about your countenance. I can’t explain it except you have a profound peace about you. You look so serene. You are not wearing any makeup, just a small touch of lipstick, but I can tell no makeup at all on your face and yet you have a glow about you.” As tears fell from my eyes, I said, “It’s the glory of the Lord.” So began our conversation about Jesus. He said there was a man before me who had the same look on his face. After conversing with him, he discovered that man was a minister. The older cashier was Catholic, but he said, “I have never read the bible, but I will now start.” We reproduce who we are. What are you reproducing? We never know how God will bless us or use us. Are you ready to be used by God when he touches your heart? Or, each day, are we so busy rushing we don’t take time for these opportunities. “For in him, the whole fullness of deity
dwells bodily.” Colossians 2:9a ESV. God was fully present in Jesus. Jesus is uniquely God’s presence, God himself. As Christians, we have been given fullness in Christ. “So Rev. Angela Pleasants that Christ may dwell District in your hearts through Superintendent faith – that you, being of Catawba Valley rooted and grounded Methodist Churches in love, may have strength to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:17-19 ESV. Yes, we too contain the fullness of God. When we are in Christ, we know and are filled with his love. In Christ and filled with his love, we experience the fullness of God and God’s presence. We participate in God’s being and are made like him. To be permeated with Christ is to be clothed by him. And when he permeates us, we reproduce his love. As disciples, we are to reflect God’s love in the world. And the world will know us by our love for God and one another. Are you glowing with the glory of God? Yes, you are, so go and share his love in this world. Show the world a better way.
Confident Faith Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org
One of the most important aspects of any Christian’s walk is faith. Our faith is what brings us to Jesus. We come by faith or not at all. Nothing we can do will save us, simply our faith in Jesus can do that. With faith being so important, what then are some of the essential aspects of faith? One such essential is a confident faith. Do you find yourself to be a person who stands confidently in God, knowing and believing that Jesus is who He says He is, and can do the things He says He can? 1 Kings 18 records a powerful story of a confident prophet, Elijah. Elijah prophesied in Israel during a time of great sinfulness. The people were far away from God, led by the evil king Ahab and his wicked wife Jezebel. The people were lost in sin and idolatry, worshiping the false Baal and Asherah gods. Elijah challenged these people to a contest. They gathered on Mt. Carmel, with Elijah against four hundred and fifty Baal prophets, and four hundred prophets of Asherah. They would build two altars and offer a sacrifice. Whoever’s god answered by fire would be the god in Israel. Elijah let the false prophets go first. They built an altar and offered a sacrifice, but received no answer. Next Elijah built his altar, and offered his sacrifice.
He even had them wet his altar and fill a trench around it with water. He then prayed to God. God answered with fire, consuming the altar and drying up the water. The Rev. Trent Tankin people proclaimed, “The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!” (1 Kings 18:39, NKJV) Elijah had confident faith. He boldly challenged the enemies of God, believing God would answer him. Like Elijah, we need a faith that is confident, depending on God to work in our lives. Elijah turned his confidence in God into action. He proved once and for all, that God was the true God in Israel. Today as you walk confidently in God, turn your confidence in God into action. Boldly live and serve Him everywhere you go. Elijah stood confidently, because he knew God went with him. God never failed Elijah. You too can go confidently because God will walk with you wherever you go. During good times, and bad, God will be there. When Elijah prayed, God answered with fire. Is your faith that confident? Step out in faith, confident faith, believing that no matter what you face, God will carry you through. Knowing that God goes with you, let that confidence help you tell others about Jesus. May it help you change hearts for Jesus. Live confidently in God today!

This news clip in the DAR scrapbook tells the story of a local Stanley lad during WWII. Photos by Alan Hodge
RARE BOOKS From Page 1 stationed, and what they were doing there. One of the more interesting news stories Spencer cut out and glued into the scrapbook tells the tale of a group of German POWs who were brought from the prison camp in Monroe where they were being held to the dairy farm of Fred Rhyne where they worked in the fields. Another news clip tells about a US Marine from Stanley, Pvt. Dolph Hunneycutt Jr., who had been wounded on Okinawa, but not before he had helped fight and kill between 75 and 100 Japanese soldiers. Other war news in the scrapbook tell the tales about what Gaston County soldiers were going through in boot camp, what medals they had received, and who had been wounded or killed. One sheet lists the Gaston KIAs. The list filled four news columns from the top of the page to the bottom. One aspect of the Spencer
scrapbook is somewhat frustrating- she cut off the dates and name of the newspaper that each one came from. Some seem to be from the Gastonia Daily Gazette and some look suspiciously like they may have come from the Belmont Banner or Mt. Holly News of that time. “I’m still trying to figure out the exact dates,” Young said. The other book is a bound volume containing copies of the American Legion Post 23 WWII-era newspaper “Pass in Review”. The newspaper was distributed twice a month to “paid up” Post 23 members as well as to military personnel from Gaston County no matter where they were. The cost? Twenty-five cents a year. Pass in Review was a high-quality paper with plenty of war news as well as ads from local textile firms. The ads touted the mill’s thread and yarn produc-

tion for the war effort. Other features in Pass in Review included letters from service members saying how much it meant to them to get news from back home, and Post 23 goings-on. The two books have been at Post 266 for many years. The Pass in Review volume has some water damage. Being the Post 266 historian as well as the daughter of a WWII veteran, Young is looking for a place where the books can be preserved for future generations. “The hope is eventually they will be in a library or museum where the public can see them,” she said.

Mountain Island takes PAC 7 1A title draws playoff bye By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
The Mountain Island Charter softball team ended the 2019 regular season on a tear. The Raptors won the PAC 7 1A Conference and after that MI took the conference tournament. “It was an unbelievable season for us,” head coach John Engel said. “It’s the first time in school history that we have won the conference and the conference tournament.” The other members of the PAC 7 1A never really stood a chance against MI. The Raptors played
three games in the tournament and totally dominated every one of them. In the first game, MI trashed Langtree Charter Academy 14- 0. In the second game, the Raptors beat Bradford Prep 17-3. In the title game, Mountain Island rolled past Pine Lake Prep 13-6. Mountain Island’s top two tournament batters were Kaylan Brown and Chloe Hatzopoulos. In the Langtree game, Brown hit five RBIs and a homer. Against Bradford, Hatzopoulos went three for three with three RBIs.
MI finished the regular season 21-1 and 14-0 in league play. Now the Raptors have to wait to see where they will place in the playoff brackets. Coach Engel is looking at the playoff picture realistically. “We are prepared for the playoffs,” Engel said. “But the playoffs are another ball game. Now it’s one and done.” MI will go into the playoffs as a real wild card. The Raptors may come from a 1A conference that is made up of charter and prep schools, but only a fool would take them lightly. This year the Raptors played four non-conference games against 2A 3A and 4A opponents. They came out 3-1 in those games so it’s fair to say they are more than capable of holding their own. Mountain Island is a wellrounded team with a potent offense and a solid defense. If they have their way the Raptors bats will knock you silly. Then MI will kill your offense by playing solid heads up defense.
The Mt. Island Charter School varsity softball team was all smiles upon winning their conference championship last week.
Mountain Island’s offensive firepower is impressive. In addition to Brown and Hatzopoulos, the Raptor bats are augmented by the hitting of the Gerland sisters, Camden and Lawson. One player that will be instrumental in the Raptors playoff run is junior pitcher Lauren Engel. Engel has had a breakout 2019. Engel is 21-1 this year. She has pitched 107 innings, stuck out 130 batters and has a 0.65 earned run average. Lauren Engel has earned the respect of many of the teams she has faced this year. One Big South 3A conference coach said Engel should never be taken lightly. “She is good,” the coach said. “She deserves a lot of credit.” However, there is something about Lauren that sort of makes her the “elephant in the room.” Lauren is coach John Engel’s daughter. That can make things interesting in the father-daughter dynamic, much less the whole player-coach thing. See MICS, Page 20

South Point and East Gaston split final games of the year By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
Last week the East Gaston and South Point softball teams faced off twice in what proved to be their final two games of the year. In Tuesday’s game, South Point played well and came away with a 6-1 win. The Lady Raiders generated 11 hits and played solid defense. South Points top batters were Asheton Queen and Ashleigh Burns. Queen went three for four, while Burns was two for three with two RBIs. Sophomore Hailey Franks pitched the entire game and earned the win. “We did all the things right,” head coach Leah Brooks said. “We played fundamental ball. We held our heads high and we did our job.” The last game of the year for both teams was played on Thursday. In that one, the Lady Warriors shut South Point down and came away with a decisive 9-0 win. “We played great,” East Gaston had coach Kaci Wilcox added. “We were firing on all cylinders. Everybody was hitting and we played great defense.” EG was definitely hitting against South Point. The Lady Warriors pounded out 14 hits. East Gaston’s top batters were Madison Spurling and Rachel Green. Spurling went two for
four with three RBIs. Green went three for four with an RBI. Senior Peyton Kegley took care of the pitching duties. Kegley stuck out seven batters in her final game in an East Gaston uniform. With a 2019 season in the books, it would be fair to say that neither team had a great season. However, that doesn’t mean that South Point or East Gaston’s season was a failure- on the contrary. In 2019 each team faced incredible obstacles and still played hard all year. South Point started the season barely able to put a team on the field. Initially, only seven girls tried out for South Point softball. Coach Brooks was eventually able to expand the roster to 13. Despite having a rough season those 13 stuck it out. During the course of the year, the Lady Raiders never lost a single player. “I think our stats don’t show,” coach Brooks said. “But we have grown in so many ways. We started with seven girls and we have grown. We are playing sound ball.” After graduation, the Lady Raiders should be good for next year. They are only losing one player. “Luckily I get all but one back next year,” coach Brooks noted. Like coach Brooks, coach
Wilcox focused on the positive things that happened this year. All year East Gaston showed flashes of brilliance. At times they were great. Other times not so much. Things didn’t work out quite the way that many had hoped but EG still has a lot to be proud of. One thing about East Gaston’s season that stands out is the fact that no matter the situation the Lady Warriors never gave up. “We were in every game we played,” coach Wilcox said. “We just didn’t come out on top. The girls continued to work hard and continued to keep a good attitude. I’m really pleased with the way we finished.” East Gaston will be losing four seniors to graduation. However, a lot of the returners look to be solid. One senior that is leaving may very well be playing ball on the college level. Emily Allen has not yet committed to any school but she has a lot of prospects out there. There is no doubt that going into 2020 both squads will be stronger. Unfortunately, East Gaston will be going into 2020 with a new skipper. After five seasons as head coach Coach Wilcox is stepping down. Coach Wilcox plans to spend more time with her family.
Gaston County Schools celebrating 50th Anniversary Last week, Gaston County Schools were “throwing back” to the 1971-1972 school year and sharing pictures from the Stanley High School yearbook. That school year was the final year for Stanley High School. In the fall of 1972, high school students from Stanley and Mount Holly came together to attend the brand new East Gaston High School. Neb Hollis, who had served as the Stanley High School principal, became the first principal at East Gaston. After its final year as a high school, the Stanley High School campus became Kiser Elementary School. It was named to honor longtime Stanley High School principal O.L. Kiser.

An internationally-acclaimed composer, William Neil, wrote a piece of music being performed at the South Point High School Concert Band’s Spring Concert. The commissioned piece, titled, “High on a Mountain,” is being premiered for the first time by the South Point High School Band. William Neil composed the music for the band’s performance in honor of his niece, Sarah Neil, who currently is a clarinet player and is graduating from South Point this year. It is a rare opportunity for a high school band to perform a world-premiere composition and could potentially draw a large audience. Neil has written musical pieces that are recognized and performed both nationally and internationally including at the Festival of Music in Evian, France, the Electronic Plus Festival in New York, the Pontino Festival in Italy, and the New Music Chicago Festival. Many of his orchestral works have been performed from Chicago and as far away as the Czech National Symphony. “The Waters are Shaking the Moon,” for WFMT Radio, “Rhapsody for Violin” for Concertante di Chicago, “Scherzo at the Speed of Light” for Northern Kentucky University are just a few of his commissioned works. In addition to composing, Neil is also the artistic director of “The ComposerStudio. com, LLC. “ This organization specializes in film and sound design for theatre.

MICS From Page 15 Being the “coach’s kid” can’t be easy, but it looks like the Engels have it all worked out. Coach Engel believes that no matter who you are the team always comes first. At MI no Raptor player ever goes into a game thinking that they alone have to carry the load, or that the game is all about them. With that said, coach Engel knows that Lauren brings something special to the mound every time she takes the field. “She really has had a great year,” coach Engel said of his pitcher, “Her stats are unbelievable.” Engel believes his pitcher goes into every game confi-
dent that the team will prevail. Some of that confidence comes from believing in herself. Some of it comes from the fact that Lauren believes in her teammates. When a pitcher is sitting alone on the mound and they know they can count on their teammates they believe that just about anything is possible. Looking at the Raptor’s record it looks like that formula has worked so far. “She’s confident because she has the bats and a good defense behind her,” coach Engel said of his pitcher. Now it’s show time for MI softball. The Raptors have a solid team that has the potential to make a very deep playoff run. The next few weeks should be interesting. Going into the playoffs the Raptors received the 5th seed and drew a first-round bye.

Celebrate Mother’s Day... Happy Mother’s Day to my dear wife who is a great mom and to every Mother everywhere! My brothers and sisters were all gone from home by the time I was eight years old. I missed them but during the summer I had my mother mostly all to myself. My dad worked third shift in the coal mines and slept most of the day. My mother’s main job was keeping me quite so I wouldn’t wake my dad from sleep. Fortunately for him he had built a small place behind our house where he slept during the day. If I didn’t bounce the basketball and played quietly all went well. I was close to my mother growing up. My sisters always said, “I was mommy’s baby.” I came along ten years after my other brothers and sisters so probably it was a little easier raising one child than trying to raise my four sisters and brothers all at once. Life was relatively simple. Some mornings during the summer we had to put
bug dust on the bean patch in the garden. Some mornings we hoed corn. We raised hogs and often there were middling’s to make. We had sulfur drinking water that was unfit for washing clothes. If we had not caught enough rain water then it meant carrying water from our nearby creek. We had about a hundred yard walk to the creek so we had to make a lot of trips back and forth to the creek for enough water. God forbid if I got busy chasing a crawdad and stirred up the creek water. It always took a while for the silt to settle down and the water to clear up. Of course there was always lots of grass to mow with a push mower. One of the sweet parts of the day was having lunch with just mom. Usually it was sandwich, a soda pop and a Reese’s Cup, or something similar. Once I talked my mom into letting me have a root beer. She said “you won’t like it and if that’s what you choose you are stuck with it.” I didn’t like it and she stuck to her promise.
I once asked her what she wanted me to be when I became an adult. She thought for a minute and said, “Become a school teacher.” Looking back I know the reason she said that was because in that era school teachers were the only people in our county who had stable jobs and incomes. My dad’s coal mining job was tough and she wasn’t wishing that on me. In her way she was saying she wanted the very best for me. I always felt like mom was on my side although she never tolerated misbehavior. We had a peach tree in our back yard and on more than one occasion she broke off a limb and used what we referred to as a “switch,” on me. I suppose that meant the peach tree limb would assist me in switching my behavior. However, mom was great. I remember how hard she worked. I know how passionately she loved our family. She took care of my dad and my four siblings. She loved God and prayed and she loved people. I miss my mom. By God’s grace and mercy I’ll see her again and

that might make her life a little easier are well deserved. Do something that pleases mom and for one day forget about yourself. Maybe your mom and grandma are deceased. On this Mother’s Day maybe there are other special moms that you can graciously wish and express to them in some way, “Happy Mother’s Day.” We can’t go wrong celebrating Mother’s Day.

my dad in heaven. My children’s mother is also deceased. My sons and I miss her every day and I know they miss her love and devotion. They have now lived most of their lives without their mother. Mother’s Day is a tough day as they can only remember. If you have a good mother, take a moment this Mother’s Day and praise her. Good words, hugs, and any deed
