Mothers Day Once Again

 
     Its Mothers Day once again and it is a hard day for those of us who have lost a mother. My moms birthday and Mothers day always were around the same time.  I really miss my mom, I don't have anyone to shop with, or anyone as a sounding board to talk to. She always had some good advice. I am like most kids, sometimes you didn't listen, because you thought she was being old fashioned.  What it was , she was young once and she knew what it was to be young, so she tried to stop you from doing something that you would later regret.

     I used to think my mother was the meanest person in the world, making us do housework and all of that other stuff. Now I am glad she did make us do all of the things she did. Both me and Sharon are productive citizens.  I am sure at times being our mother wasn't easy and I am sure that some of the things we did as teenagers hurt , but she stood by us. We couldn't drive, so she took me to work no matter what time I had to be there, I was on time.  She also took me any where else I needed to go, driving across Bolt Mountain, going to and coming back from Kopperston from the outdoor gospel sings, to many other places. We went to a lot of lunches and dinners with the Beckley Christian Women's club and other functions. She gave me advice on being married and a lot of other things as well. When I first moved into my house she came to stay with me at night for a while. We would watch TV and do all sorts of things together.

     This was my moms favorite time of the year. She said they moved to Mabscott in May 1947. She always liked flowers and plants. I plant flowers and plants every year, we used to go and pick them out and plant them. The saying is "You never miss the water until the well goes dry. That is the truth.  I hate to say this, but these young people don't really know what being a mother is all about. I remember when I was in grade school. I had a hard time, I thought I was stupid, but then I realized a few years back that I couldn't see the blackboard.  My mom used to work with me on my lessons, reading spelling and all of the classes I needed to keep up in.  When I first got in radio, she made me pick up my reading speed, by reading into a tape recorder, and playing it back. There were so many things...

     I don't like Mothers Day,I miss my mom and also I wish I could have been a mother. I did everything the right way. I waited until I got married to even want to have children. The reason for this was, my best friend had a child at a young age and she was always fighting with the childs father about different things. He wouldn't buy formula for the baby or diapers and sometimes he didn't come to see the child as often as he should. I didn't want to go through all of that so I just said that I would wait until I was married to have a child. I didn't marry until I was 41. Kind of late to be having a child. That is something that still hurts, but God knows.

I DO WISH ALL OF THE MOTHERS A HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row

     Sharon me gave this, I don't know if it is a poem or what. Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row ( sometimes we just need to hear this ) Life is like a theater, so invite your audience carefully. Not everyone is holy or healthy enough to have a FRONT ROW seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. Its amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time draining, negative, incompatible not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships or even family. Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to which ones lean and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill or just staying still??? When you leave certain people do you feel better or worse?? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift rthat lies within you? The mor...

Don't Argue Or Reason With The Devil

I was watching Jesse Duplantis last night and he was teaching on Jesus being tempted in the wilderness in Matthew chapter 4. I was reminded of something that I was working on. I have never preached this message anywhere, but on radio once and I don't know when it ran...  In Matthew 4 "Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness, after fasting forty days he was hungry, the temptor came to Jesus and said, If thou be the Son of God command these stones to be turned into bread.  Jesus  said it is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of  out of the mouth of God."  Satan doesn't give up, he comes at Jesus a second time and says, "If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written He shall Give His angels charge over you.... Jesus said for the second time, "It is written again, thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God. Satan didn't give up he came at Jesus a third time, takin...

Class of 1975, I Graduated, Whats Next????

The class of 1975 made it through the Pomp and Circumstance” getting our high school diplomas. June 6, 1975 seems like so long ago, but at the same time it seems like it was only yesterday. SO many decisions that were made that would affect our lives forever. I don’t think that we should hold decisions made by an 18 or 19 year old accountable for the rest of their lives. I was 17 when I graduated from high school and I was a very sheltered 17 year old to say the least. I had never dated. I didn’t date until I was 21. It wasn’t a religious thing, it was more like my mind and my age finally caught up with each other. Some of our class would go to college, some would work and some went into the military. Some would do well in college, some would leave home and go wild, but would eventually settle down into a career, some would marry and divorce, others married later, some would have children and some didn’t. This will cover my first year after graduation, what I did. Some of this some ...
