My wonderful Mother

I was just thinking today about my mom and how awesome she is.My mom is the total personification of agape love. She is the most selfless person on the Earth. She has lived her whole life helping people, going out of her way to make others' lives better and I have seen my mom sleep on two hospital chairs because the elderly woman at the church who had no one didn't want to be alone in the hospital at night;I've seen her get up and to go pray for people in need who needed her in the middle of the night. I've seen my mom go visit sick people in the hospital when she herself was so sick and tired she should have been in the hospital herself. 
Through the love of God, she is able to do a lot of awesome things. Because God gave her strength, she was able to do it. My mom helps people through tough times by bringing food and clothes to them. My mama is the ultimate prayer warrior, And I love her for that. She has this way about her that just gets people to calm down during crisis. She has always tried to follow peace with everyone, even when they hurt her. She is the person I admire the most in the world and I thank God everyday that she is a shining example for me and other people in this world. That's why I really don't understand when she's in need it seems that no one's around to help her.Not even family came or called when she was sick and in the hospital. People should really follow her example, instead of taking from her and taking and taking but never giving to Mama. All she does is continue to pray for them. I pray that God would punish the people who try to hurt her and open their eyes because my mom only deserves good and wonderful things in her life because she has ALWAYS done good to others. I wanted people to know how much I admire the most important and inspiring person in my life.
