Is there a verse or several verses that talks about giving (praise), or thanking a mother for what she has done in her life for her children after she has passed and left this world.
Hello Keith. It would be difficult to find a portion to fit exactly to what you're seeking, but Proverbs chapter 31 comes to mind, of a woman (& mother) who had an exemplary testimony before her family & others. The woman mentioned (the mother of Solomon, also called Lemuel by her) hadn't passed on, but was found worthy of mention in this Book by her son.
From verses 10 to 31 we find a lot of details about this woman, but if you're seeking this information to put to writing or to speak about a departed mother, then within those verses one can find some relevant qualities worth sharing. She would not only have been a "virtuous woman of great worth" but also "one that feared the Lord" (vv 10 & 30). And to give further expression of those preeminent qualities, Solomon describes his mother as follows:
Her husband has full trust in her (v11,12); she works hard, even through the night (vv 15-19, 27); she is mindful of the needy around her (v 20); her words are of kindness & wisdom (v 26); she loves & cares so well for her family that both her husband & children call her "blessed" & praise her (vv 27,28). Of course, all these qualities would be shared in the past tense.
I hope you can glean some useful words/phrases that you can use as biblical support of a life well lived & for the Glory of God. Every blessing.
