MONDAY MORNING MOMENTS
May 10, 1999 Vol. IV Number 18
It was rally day program at the church and a little girl was to recite the Scripture she had memorized for the occasion. When she got in front of the crowd, the sight of hundreds of eyes peering at her caused her to forget her memory work.
Every line that she had so carefully rehearsed faded from her mind and she stood there unable to utter a single word. In the front row, her mother was almost as frantic as the little girl. The mother gestured, moved her lips, trying to form the words for the girl, but it did not good.
Finally, the mother, in desperation, whispered the opening phrase of the memorized Scripture: “I am the light of the world.” Immediately the child’s face lit up and a smile appeared on it as she said with supreme confidence: “My mother is the light of the world.”
Of course, everybody smiled and some laughed out loud. Then they soberly reflected that the girl, in some ways, was not far from wrong., For the mother is the light of the child’s world.
Four years ago May 18 my mother went to her heavenly reward. She truly was a light for me and our family. I miss her promptings, and her prayers. She and I would talk often on Saturday night and she would encourage me or give me some well informed suggestion for the service. This Mother’s Day be grateful for your mom and those of us who have mom’s waiting on the other side, lets remember them and be thankful for the years we had with them.
“Look at the Nations and watch - and be UTTERLY AMAZED. for I am going to do something in YOUR days that you would not believe even if you were told” Habakkuk 1:5
