A Soulful Journey

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.” -Donald J. Shelby
