My Goodness....
In looking back over my "small" years; my memory recalls all the childhood splinters that we all use to get. We would just cry and go on; running to our mother...please take the splinter out and make it better. Oh, the love of a mother's touch to make things all better.
I also think about those wooden fence rails we use to walk daily throughout my early years of life. We would try to see who could stay on the fence the longest without falling off; but when we did...guess what? - more splinters only this time we would be covered with them. Again, off to get the touch of our mother's love and make it all better. "Those were the days I remember".
The day came when God called my mother home to heaven to be with Him when I was at the age of 14 years old. Then and only then can a person identify the need for a mother. No more would I have a mother to pull those nasty splinters out which was all I could think of at that time!!!! I can remember all the things she did for me; made every stitch of clothing I wore; made sure we were fed; had a clean house; taught the Bible; taught me how to pray;........well, every little "jot and tittle". Someday, I will see her again, Praise God!
Then at the age of 18; God called my father home to heaven and left me behind with no earthly parents; but I did recall in my mind.."I have my Heavenly Father" who can look after me though and for that...I did call on Him daily for choices that I had to make at such a young age in my life.
I am married now for 30+ years to a wonderful man; "Bruce Neal" - who loves me and I love him. He gave me a wonderful son, "Brian Nicholas" and for 18 years we kept him in church; taught him morals and values. He saw his need for Christ and accepted Him at an early age. He went off to college and met a young lady; "Tracy Robinson Arnold" and four years later; they too were married. It's now been six years; so proud to announce our precious grand-daughter was born, "Addison Grace" of whom we have grown to love and adore.
Down through the years of maturing and growing in Christ; I have faced many trials that God has put me through. I've cried lots of tears and wondered why God would put me through these things...but "who am I"? Our God endured the cross for me..."why not me"?. I have learned patience in these trials and most of all ~ "LOVE FOR PEOPLE". God loves me; how could I not love people...which kept me inline - otherwise I would have fallen apart at the seems or so I thought. I do remind myself often...I belong to Christ and when others do wrong to me....they not only hurt me but they hurt Christ because I belong to Him.
I love my family...I would give my life for any one of them.
