Bill Ritter tells about TV interview that caught his
attention. The person being interviewed was a heroic mother who single-handedly
raised a large family. In spite of all the frustrations, disappointments, and
obstacles, she persevered and every one of her children had made remarkable
achievements. They did well not only in school but in their vocation as well.
It was inspiring story for it revealed the heights and depths of human greatness.
During the interview, the mother was asked her secret.
”I suppose you loved all your children equally making sure
that they all got the same treatment?”
The mother replied, “I
loved them. I loved them all, each one of them, but not equally. I loved the
one the most that was down until he was up. I loved the one that was most weak
until she was strong. I loved the one the most that was hurt until he was
healed. I loved the one the most that was lost until she was found.”
