The wisdom of my mother
My mother passed away a few years ago, she was a loving woman and I miss her terribly some days. Although I find I hear her words as they exit my mouth and I have to stop and shake my head and laugh, sometimes cry. Or I will be in the middle of making a decision and I will hear her words rolling through my head, again, it makes me smile. I have come to the conclusion that I never did give her enough credit for the wisdom God passed to her in her short life here on earth. She was a woman of faith; she stood her ground on what was right for her and her family. She was adamant about the Bible being the book of instruction to finding a joyful, peaceful, love filled, grace filled life. There are so many things she taught me, many which I did not fully understand until I grew and matured. Some I am now finding understanding to, behind the lessons she taught, as I experience them myself. Being headstrong I do need to find things out for myself, although I do see the wisdom from learning from someone else’s mistakes, I do not always follow this wise route. I guess this is still my child like (immature) ways bursting through as I jump head long into the occasional pool of trouble.
These are some thoughts from life’s lessons that my mother has imparted to me as I have grown up over the years. I hope I can capture the wisdom that God gave to her, that I am now being able to experience myself.
Some other of these lessons I have experienced through running. I find it interesting to find myself having spiritual experiences while out on a run, but it all seems to make sense while I’m on the road. I believe it was my mother who opened my eyes and heart to being able to accept the spiritual world and to believe that I too can hear from God; yes, even in today’s day and age. So this is where I find myself, searching, growing maturing and finding life’s’ lessons as I travel through my journey here on this earth.
