Growing up, we would wake up, come downstairs, and find our mom studying the Bible at her desk, the sewing center. She wouldn't just read the Bible, she would journal in her notebook, making notes about what she read. Many of those journals are still at the old homestead. Last year, I asked to have several of her journals sent to me in Florida. It has been interesting to read her thoughts and prayers, and her musings about daily events. Since she dated her entries, I have decided, when possible, to post an entry from her journal for the corresponding date.
August 7, 1974:
Psalm 47:6,7 .....sing praises to God---pray
Psalm 48: 14 "For this God is our God forever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death."
Col. 1:3 "We continually give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ......as we are praying for you......"
Col. 4:2, 3 "Be earnest and unwearied and steadfast in your prayer life being both alert and intent in your praying with thanksgiving. And at the same time pray for us also......"
My mom was a woman who prayed; not just for her family but for many people. She taught us from a young age that prayer was important. If you are or were in her circle of friends and family, know she has prayed for you. Lord, bless my Mother in her twilight years. May she feel your love and presence with her each and everyday. Amen

I know for the 21 years Marshall and I served with CEF, George and Marian prayed. I was so blessed by that.
