Good morning and Thankful Thursday. As we continue in the month of Mothers In May based on Genesis 21:14-21, 2nd Kings 4:18-23 and Luke 1:28-33 I had a talk with my Mother and she told me that when I was able to stay out past 10:00pm at first she used to be up at night waiting for me to come home. She was concerned that the streets, which they often do, would swallow me up and I may not come home. This was shocking to me because I never knew that she had done this. She also told me that one day she decided that there would be no more sleepless nights for her. It was not that I stopped staying out. It was because she placed it in Gods hands. My Mom is a Mother In Trust.
It could not have been easy for my Mother to let go and let God. I was already in the midst of being a problem child by being disobedient and doing what I could to buck the system. There were rules that I had
abide by and I did them just enough so I could not hear her screaming at me or throwing things at me ( she threw an iron at me because of my smart mouth). But no matter what she trusted in God. She is a Mother In Trust.
In looking in the Word of God to see a Mother In Trust I go to Genesis 22:1-2. In this passage it speaks of how God tells Abraham to take Isaac with him on a journey. Even though Sarah is not mentioned her trust
in God was there as well. A Mother senses when something is wrong and if she was that worried about what was going she would had said something. Sarah was like my Mother is today. Mother In Trust.
In continuing Mothers In Trust I continue in Genesis 22:9-10. In this passage Abraham and Isaac are at the point to where Abraham has to do the unthinkable he has to slay his son as a sacrifice to God. Though Sarah
is not there once again I can imagine her feeling a time for her to go in pray for her son. Although my Mom did not stay up any more that did not mean that her prayers for me stopped. A Mother In Trust.
In looking in the Word of God for Mothers In Trust I Genesis 22:13-14. The angel that God sent saw the faith that Abraham had and heard the prayer of Sarah and not only interceded but provided a prime example
how when you trust in God he will always provide. I am not perfect or nearly holy but I am in a lot better place than where I used to be. It was because of God of course and then my Mother. Thank God for a Mother In Trust.
In closing there were other Mothers In Trust I knew. My Grandmas, Ms. Patton, Ms. Harris, my Aunts Josephine, Luella, Thelma, Fan, Elnora and my cousins such as JoAnna and Dorothy Pugh. With these Mothers In Trust how could I go wrong. Not only myself but countless others. Are there any more Mothers In Trust out there today. I thank God for this teaching and give him all the glory and honor. I ask God to bless all who read this especially the Mothers In Trust. Have a great Mothers Day weekend. Please join me next week for my blog called Mothers Gonna Work It Out.
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
