Christmas 1959
This is a pix from long ago of my mom (Mary Lois) and my dad (Sterling)_ and my aunt ( Gina). when Mom married dad, she was only 15 years and 2 months old. Gina did not want to be parted from my mom so she spent a bit of those years with them. She said she couldn't stand the thought of Sterling taking Mary Lois way out to that God forsaken country....little did she know then but it was not God forsaken country. From this marriage sprang six God fearing and loving family life children....Glenda (who was born in a house half full of hay in that God forsaken land (around the channel)), Norma ( a model child LOL .. it's my story), a mischievious Sterling,Jr, whose favorite past time was locking dad in the outhouse, Zita ( a miracle), Ricky (another miracle) and Jennifer ( a perfect "Baby" in every sense of the word). So see...Gina, God moves in mysterious ways...No one but my dad would have let mom have a open house, 24 / 7 to friends, family, and ministry. You see dad married an "angel" and he was happy to let her remain a " ministering angel " to all whose life she touched.
I MISS YOU.....MOM & DAD.
Heaven is richer with you there, but we sure do miss you both.
Well put...as i wipe away tears...I miss them so much. I think more than I did yesterday.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Well put story. Been a hard year for us. Especially you. I pray God begin the work or restoration and make it a quick and wonderfully miraculous work.
ReplyDeleteAmen to both of you. God is faithful
