Lessons Learned from Momma (Part 3)

This is Part 3 of a three part blog series. Watching Momma, I've learned - - pray and pray some more. Momma begins and ends each day literally on her knees - - in prayer. To some this might seem like just a religious ritual. However, I've come to realize her prayers have chartered her course in life and covered her family for years. Prayer is simply communicating with God. This involves a little talking and a WHOLE lot of listening - - and then doing what He says do.

And 'us girls' walked away so enriched by the experience. Thinking back on that evening, I am again amazed at this wonder-full woman! Momma is one of six children (actually the youngest) and the only one still living. In fact, she has lived the longest. Though her hair is gray and she has grown shorter and a…
