\"Mothers<\/a><\/p>\n

May is the month I focus on mothers and daughters and I am asking one question each week related to this topic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s this week’s question:<\/span><\/p>\n

Could you please relate your mother’s favorite saying or bible verse?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

My mom’s was “Life’s great if you don’t weaken.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I think she said this because it reminds us that we will all weaken and we’re not in charge of life, a reminder of humility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are\u00a0both of my guest authors this week and what their mothers’ favorite sayings were.<\/span><\/p>\n

First author Lorraine Beatty, yesterday’s guest:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and\u00a0strength, an ever-present help in trouble.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My mother was ill a great deal of her life and I think this passage sustained and comforted her greatly over the years.–Lorraine<\/p>\n

Next Author Sylvia Bambola tomorrow’s\u00a0guest :<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re going to do something, do it right!\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Those words my mother spoke so often still roll around my head. They\u2019re good words; words that teach an important lesson found in scripture: Do all as unto the Lord. They made me want to do my best, to cultivate a spirit of excellence, something I\u2019m still working on.<\/p>\n

Still, over the years I\u2019ve decided that not everything<\/i> needs to be done with excellence. I mean, you don\u2019t have to move all those knickknacks every<\/i> time you dust. You can just dust around them until you have more time. Right? Well, that\u2019s my plan and I\u2019m sticking to it!–Sylvia<\/p>\n

I’m with you on that one, Sylvia. And Lorraine, that is a memorable verse for all.<\/p>\n

So readers, what was your mother’s favorite saying or Bible verse?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
