A Mother's Prayer

Throughout our lives our mother was faithful to pray for each of her children. It is not uncommon for any mother to pray but mine was an uncommon prayer warrior, especially on behalf of her children.

I shared in a previous blog that we are in the process of cleaning out my parent’s house. My sister has been diligent to minimize the potential of our overlooking pertinent family history or business. One way she has minimized this oversight is to leaf through books and to read letters and notes, particularly handwritten ones.

It is not uncommon for individuals to collect things and my parents were no exception. Among the several “collectibles” my parents archived were notepads. They exhibited a strong competency at maintaining a significant inventory of legal pads, note pads, spiral bound miniature notebooks, etc.

This large number of notepads presented a challenge of stamina because practically every notepad had at least one or two pages of writing. To minimize the potential of overlooking family history or business, time has been spent in flipping through and reading each notepad.

Early in the course of our recent two-day work venture, my sister quietly handed me one of my mother’s notebooks. What was written is self-explanatory.
