Thank you Julie,
And yes I believe we do know how very special Momma was. I've always thought she was different from other mothers. I don't know why, I didn't know other mothers! But something was unique and just drew you to her. Drew everyone to her! Now I know it was the "Jesus factor!" He has that drawing power! Praise the Lord! But as a little girl I knew she believed in a big God who we couldn't see, but she knew was real. She talked to Him and trusted him for everything.
I remember once she told a Blair or Encyclopedia salesman that she didn't have a medicine cabinet because she trusted her God to take care of her children. One of the kids "skinned" a leg or arm and came to her for care and she didn't have anything. I must have been sitting beside her or standing in the doorway. That is how that witness came about.
When I think of the busyness of my own life, I wonder at the miracle of her! How she stayed in His Presence, fought the devil on every side and kept her home and children going. All at once it seemed! What God requires He will equip us for! She truly lived her scripture from His Word that she claimed for her own "With God All Things Are Possible" Matt. 19:26. Children, let's learn a lesson here and keep claiming!!! I can see many grandchildren coming up the road!
