I Am A Rock

 

My Child

You are the greatest thing that ever happened to me. There is nothing I'd rather see than your smile, and nothing I'd rather hear than your laughter.

I am proud of the person you have become. And no matter what happens in your life, I have the confidence in your ability to make the right choices. I love You - Barbara Cage

 

 

When I was six years old I won an award at a national Sunday school writing event. I got the silver award ( I still have it ). Not bad considering I was the youngest contestant by two years. My writing essay was on the Parable about the man who built his house on a rock. I wrote about how Jesus was teaching us that building a strong family foundation was the key to happiness. I never really had that myself and my mother was very unhappy with my decision to go to church. But, the pastor and his wife persuaded her to let me go with them.. I read the Bible completely twice by the time I was eight. I was a very accomplished reader for my age after learning to read at 3. I was reading the newspaper at 4. 

 This weekend all my children were home at once and we had a great weekend all hanging out and laughing together. So , even though I had a mother who had no time or interest in me. I always made sure I attended all my kids events. Turning up early so they could see me in the front and they know I'm always here for them no matter what. So, they have their foundation and I'm their rock
