ONE SENTENCE ~ MANY ANSWERS … Thanks, Mama!

~Background ~

 Our family always had a number of Bibles 

in our home when I was growing up, and my 

Mama was always placing handwritten 

notes, cards, and pictures within the 

pages of the Bibles.

Since her death, I have admired and inspected 

most of her books and Bibles - 

crying and smiling at the same time. 

~The Answer~

Yesterday, I came across what was probably her oldest Bible.  I know that I have seen it before; however, it's been at least 30 years or more.

I started to put it away - knowing that I could revisit it any time. I couldn't.

Oh, my - more notes - pictures - cards…treasures.

There it was - another note!

On a small piece of paper she had written one sentence.  One sentence that answered the question that had been on my mind for a few months.  

  Amazing how that works ~ isn't it?

My Mama ~ Lorene Ashburn Allison

This photo, too, was within the Bible's pages.

It shows my Daddy (on the left) along with his sisters and brothers 

on the day their father (my Grandfather - William Luther Allison) was buried.

L to R: Haywood Allison, Lou Ann Allison Guy, Willene Allison, 

Berchie Allison, Eli Allison, and Bill Allison.  

Aunt Willene and Aunt Berchie are up-in-years (I love that phrase), 

but still with us.  Look at my 'voguish' aunts…treasures!
