What is your earliest memory of Mom or Dad helping you master some activity? (Serendipity Bible 10th Anniversary Edition, page 1254).
The
memories are two. I remember the tenderness of being taught how to
tie my shoes at one time or other by either mama or daddy. The other
was when I was in a lower grade in elementary school and was learning
how to spell words. I had to come up with my own ideas as to what I
wanted to spell. With mom and dad’s help, we came up with “bicycle”
and “banana”. Mama and daddy gave me the correct spelling and
helped me learn them. I can distinctly remember rehearsing the
spelling at the morning breakfast table before going to school. My
older brother, Bobby, was duly impressed. The cameo of
my family gathered in loving affirmation is still a very powerful
asset more than 60 years later.
