Today is the first day of the ninth month in the year R&R(ReCover&ReStore). Still sharing the words and wisdom of a CERTAIN Woman and the legacy she left. Still remembering Mother Martha Stanley. Four years ago on this day, my siblings and I were surrounded by friends and loved ones as we were preparing for Mom's Life Celebration. We often spoke about Mom's love of music and songs. She sang in the choir and each song she sang had pesonal meaning to her. One of Mom's favorite songs was "Jesus My Rock". Jesus My Rock...she would open her mouth and sing...way up, somewhere beyond saprano...I Call Him......... Jesus My Rock. With out a doubt, Mom knew that Jesus was her Rock. She had endured trials and tributlations in her lifetime because she knew to run to the Rock. The song says, I know He won't deny me, He always walks beside me...I call Jesus My Rock!!!
We have had the pleasure and pain of watching Mom go through many afflictions. Later, in the last decade of her life, she had kidney failure and she lost her sight, but in the midst of her pain and suffering, Mom still said, I call Jesus My Rock. She took the hits and the hurts, she endured the hardships as a good soldier. And we found out, she did not call ghost busters...she did not call the lady next door, she said I call Jesus My Rock. He was her Rock of ages...her lilly of the valley, her bright and morning story. The wheel in the middle of the wheel. Mom knew who to call, when man failed, she called "The Rock". A lesson for us...we learned to call Him too. We learned to run to the rock when life's pressure shook us to our core. We learned from Mom, to cast our cares upon him and leave them there. Mom trusted her Rock, she stood tall on her Rock and today, we know she is resting on that Rock, waiting for that First Trumpet Sound.
Do you know who to call to calm your fears and dry your tears? Listen to the words of our legend and Call Him for yourself. He will answer everytime.
