I t’s a humbling thing to write about persons who have greatly impacted your life. I am reminded that we cannot live alone without the influence of an individual (s) or a higher deity to affect our lives. There has always been someone who came before us and influenced us in a way that greatly mattered to us. They came with equal talents and gifts (of the Spirit) that guided us along the way. We must take heart and humbly seek guidance of our Creator. He will send a mentor or hero to help us whenever we are experiencing frustration or exhaustion. Our Savior God calls us to endure the pain and hurts as well as the successes. He will keep his promise to work in and through us. We must follow Him with exacting diligence to uphold our responsibility to be generous with a faithfulness, justice and a joyful heart.
In the beginning, God made man. Man was created by God. Then woman was made from a rib of man’s body. God did not want man to be alone He ordained a relationship called marriage. Marriage is forever and in right relationship with the love of God. Marriage is not meant to be easy, but with the persistence and stamina and the grace of God, marriage is a lasting and enduring accomplishment. Many couples take their vows and covenant serious as a covenant to God and man. This book is a testimony from those couples who vowed to love and cherish each other for the rest of their lives. This is a model for future generations to live in love and harmony with each other.
It seems like yesterday that things that were happening in my life over seventy years ago, demands that I trust in the loving purpose of a Sovereign God. I have learned to trust that He is in control – especially when life seems out of control. I am prospering and am always hopeful because as a blessed African American woman, I accept my responsibility to give back to the people in this country as much as it has given to me. I will always acknowledge my roots, as they are more important than ever. I am an empty vessel but am versed with a spiritual being to complete a mission for God. And I have an angel or angels who have guided me all my days. They are sent from my Sovereign Creator.
Children are miracles and mysteries. Before they are born, they are often given a first and last name, and relationships between parents and other family members are established. A value system is clearly reflected in the life of the child. The child must remember his/her roots and never turn his/her back on core values and principles affirmed by the teachings of Christ. The child must learn to be multifaceted and a multitasker. The qualifications of an individual are more important than the color of his/her skin. Never overlook giving back to the community; this feat enhances and enriches values in a human being.
Three persons, Mary Drucilla, Leslie Peter and Eleanor S have shared their life’s stories to edify and help others who are battling serious problems in their own lives. It is amazing how persons can come from tremendous hurts and pain and seek humanitarian solutions for themselves and others. I have chosen to write their stories because many of the mysteries of life can be the most rewarding experiences as they grow and mature. We as individuals, families and friends need each other The unravelling of the drama that effects our complex lives is rendered only through the grace of God. Progress and movement in history occur through the powers of God’s understanding and empathy which can help the unbearable become a bit more bearable.
