“Many times I’ve felt life was unfair – like nothing was going my way. In those times anger, disappointment, and depression victimized me: Poor me. It isn’t my fault. I don’t have a choice. There’s nothing I can do about the cards I’ve been dealt but accept them and suffer through it. Fortunately, my mamma – through her example – taught me a lesson long ago that helps me pull myself up when life knocks me down…”
“Mamma had taught me that God loved me; that God is good; that God is everywhere. She taught me the Bible stories of Daniel in the lions’ den and of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego being thrown into the fiery furnace. I think I was confident of God’s care, even though my life was apparently in danger and my future most uncertain and at risk.”
