Thank you mom for raising my sister and I in church. Building a foundation in Christ in us. You did this yourself.
Thank you mom
My mom recently passed away … her name was Paula Elaine Klaus Patterson.
You got saved in the early 1980’s and then saw we went to church, we went to Alice Bell Baptist Church in Knoxville, TN.
I know I wasn’t easy. But, you still did it.
I know I got away from church for a season, but it took my own daughter to get me back on track. Well, I should say that it was Jesus, He used you both.
Proverbs 22:6 – train up a child. Sometimes they may stay and others may backslide and return. I am thankful that you brought me up in church to have that basic foundation started.
I thank Jesus for leading you to Him and then seeing to it that my sister and I are found by Him too.
I did a search on FreePik for Thank You Mom and came across this image and had to use it. It reminds me of the adult coloring books she loved to do.
Finally thank you God for giving me my mom for the time you did. November is a month of Thanksgiving and a time to give thanks.

Such a great story. My mom was the same with me and my siblings. Thankful that she took us to church and taught us about Jesus.
Most indeed. I’m glad yours did too for you all. Thanks for the comment.
