by
Book Cover & Preview Text
My fondest memories of my mother are her prayers for our nation, leaders, friends, and family members. She would hold our hands before school to pray with us and instruct us to repeat the prayer with her. Each one of my siblings had a special verse from the bible taught to us by mom. When finishing praying over our meals, she would have each of us to quote our special scripture. To this day my verse: “The Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want” is incorporated throughout my life. There were times at night I would awaken to hear my mom waging a spiritual war through prayer with our common enemy, Satan. The first time I experienced this happening, I recall asking her concerning what I heard. With those kind gentle eyes and quaint smile, she looked me in the eye and stated, “Everything is alright Sandy, and I was attacked by Satan in my sleep, and through the Holy Ghost began to wage war against the enemy in prayer.” After this, she became such a spiritual giant in my young eyes.
