Faith and Trust 20th September 2013
What a special day this is – my mother turns 77 today – and what is even more amazing, is that my husband’s mother also turns 77 today! They say there is no such thing as a coincidence…………….. What I so admire about my mother, is that she lives in absolute Faith and Trust. First to do what you need to do and can do, then hand over the rest to God. This is truly a valuable gift that will stay with me forever. God bless you on your birthday Ma! Like the story of a pastor who bought a beautifully embroidered table cloth at a street market, to hide some rain damage in his church. He meets an old lady, who just missed her bus and since it was snowing, he offers that she waits for the next bus in the church. As he opens up the table cloth the old lady recognizes it, and confirms it by the initials she embroidered in the corner. She made this table cloth before the second world war. She tells the pastor that her husband was arrested and taken away during the war, and that she never saw him again. The pastor offers the table cloth to her, but she declines. He drives her home as a token of appreciation. At a service a few weeks later, an old man approaches the pastor after the service and asks him where he found the table cloth, as it looks just like something his wife made. Confirming this by the initials, he talks about how he has not managed to find his wife after the war….. this is a true story! Coincidence or guided by the Grace of God? “So when the road you’re travelling, seems difficult at best – do your part as best you can and God will do the rest”.
