This One's for You Mama! (To God Be the Glory)

Johnnie Mae Baldwin was classy and brassy.  She was old school in the way she thought and did things.  She felt that you should go to the church-house on Sunday morning dressed appropriately, and you can bet that she was always dressed to the "nines."  She always dressed like a lady, that was the classy side.  Now, when you got in a heated debate with her, she could give as good as she could get.  That was the brassy side.  But, most of all she was wisdom and love.  She would say in her soprano style voice: "Baby, I know God's knowledge and wisdom and I'm telling you....."   Godmom was a heart person - she loved genuinely and deeply.  She loved God first and foremost.  Whenever we, her Godchildren left her presence she would always say: "Ya'll just love on each other till you can't love on each other no more!"

Today is her home going service even though she is already Home.  She surely will be missed.

He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother. Praise the LORD! Psalms 113:9 (NIV)
