Mother Knows Best

Week of September 7

My mother came to faith in Jesus Christ on 1 May, 1989 just 6 weeks before she succumbed to lung cancer that had matastized in her body after diagnosis in February of the same year.

A few weeks after my Mom's coming to faith my wife, Linda entered the room where my Mom was busy crocheting.

When Linda entered the room Mom looked up and said, "Hi Linda; I saw your kids today."

My wife found this peculiar since at the time we had been married for 13 years and had no children. My youngest sister is also named Linda, so my wife said, "don't you mean your daughter, Linda's children, Mary"?

My Mom responded, "I know who I am talking to. You are Mark's wife, Linda. I saw your children in heaven today. A boy and a girl".

Having said that, my Mom returned to her crocheting. More than two years later my wife gave birth to our first child, a son, in October 1991 after more than 15 years of marriage. In August of 1993, Linda gave birth to our daughter after more than 17 years of marriage. God Bless!
