Miss Neva

I just found out that we lost Miss Neva this week.  There is a celebration in heaven when one of His saints dies, but down here,  she will be missed.

I met Miss Neva when I was a young clueless mother with a growing family.  She was a real southern lady with motherly advice.  She  love to tell the story on me when  my  baby boy was crying and I was called to the church nursery.  I had forgotten his night-night so, I took off my half slip,  gave it to him and went back to church.  Later,  I told her that I was really concern that he would never give up his night-night.   In her calm reassuring manner she said," Don't worry, he will give it up eventually.  If he doesn't,  just send it with him to college."

She had a way of making you feel like you were special, a good mother and that you just might make it.
Thank you Lord for mentors that come into your life when you need them.
