Each sunday morning on our program. You hear from our president Lincoln J.
Ragsdale, who brings inspiration to you this Mother's Day Morning, we
would like you to hear from the source of his inspiration. His wife,
Eleanor Ragsdale, who is the vice president of the Valley Life Insurance
Company and the mother of four lovely Children. Eleanor Ragsdale,
Happy mother's Day dear mothers everywhere to those of you who are mothers
through the birth of a child and to you who are mothers deep in your heart
and soul, although you may have never borne a child to you. This poem by
Maurice Ronayne is dedicated.
Motherhood has many faces fashioned by the Lord above, filling near and
distant places with his handiwork of love. Some are white and some are
yellow, some are black and some are brown, some are stern and some are
mellow, granite, hard or soft as down.
Some are fragile, fair as laces, warm and gently mild as may. Some are
lined and worn with traces of defeat along life's way. Some are gay with
all the gladness of the springtime on the land. Some are shadowed with a
sadness, only mothers understand,
but like stars above the willow. Every mother looks the same, bending over
baby's pillow softly whispering its name.
A prayer for mother's day. Lord give the mothers of the world more love to
do their part. That love which reaches not alone. The Children made by
birth their own, but every childish heart wake in their souls. True
motherhood which aims at universal good.
If all the beautiful thoughts and tender memories of mother became flowers
on mother's day. Only a mother's heart would be big enough to hold them
all. A partnership with God. His motherhood, what strength, what purity,
what self control, What love, what wisdom should belong to her. Who helps
God fashion and immortal soul.
I believe that somewhere in the dark is nine.
I can
go home.
Mm hmm.
I been doing for everyone who go the stream.
Someone
will come.
Men shall wait.
Right. Uh huh. I
believe
the stars. A smallest prayer. We'll
still be heard. I
believe that someone in the great somewhere.
Here's every, every
time I hear a newborn baby crown

All of the authorities agree that the greatest mother that has ever lived
and the greatest mother that America has ever known has been the negro
mother,
far from the time of slavery. She has held her family together. She's gone
out and worked in the field and had a baby with her and she has been the
father and the mother and most homes,
she's been the breadwinner. She's been everything because the negro mother
has had to suffer more and she's brought her family to a greater height
than any mother ever known in the history of man and to this great lady,
to the greatest lady has ever lived the negro mother. This mother's Day. I
want to give to her of the getty's contribution that we can give is the
washer, God speed and the happiness because she has been the greatest lady
the world has ever known. Yeah. Happy Mother's Day Mother's to every
mother and the son of my voice. We wish you happiness.
What is a mother? A mother is someone who loves you and knows all of your
faults and yet she forgives you. A mother is someone who takes the money
that she has her own self and let you use it gives you that money to take
into use for what you wanted to do in your own selfish way. Oh yes. What
is mother? Someone who knows that you're a week yet she tries to make us
strong
all mothers wonderful. Yeah, May God bless all of you this morning And I
want you to know that we're praying for you. I am blessed to have my
mother and thankful that she is living and in reasonable good health.
Sometimes we have to stop to count our blessings.
