It asks us to answer questions like: "What was my mother's greatest gift to me" or "My mother taught me that God...." this is a great book for those of us who are more inclined to write then tell a story...like me ;)It is so very important, as you so elogquently wrote, for us Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24663526.post-1164823742792148962006-11-29T12:09:00.000-06:002006-11-29T12:09:00.000-06:00Beautiful!

God will woo them in His own way, but you have given them a piece of the puzzle.<BR/><BR/>Blessings on your day and always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24663526.post-1164720108080554572006-11-28T07:21:00.000-06:002006-11-28T07:21:00.000-06:00This is sooo true.

The one I knew did things for the church every Saturday, volunteered, etc. The Father my Mom knew was someone harsh and not approachable. I praise God he changed, but I don't know the story of why.<BR/><BR/>I agree we need to pass these stories down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
