Mom taught Junior Church and Kids' Club for years, one time taking time to walk with a boy afraid to step inside the church. She won him over, first in a classroom one-on-one.
But Mom's most memorable story was about a little girl lost in the woods after a Sunday School picnic.
Several hours later a search party found the girl kneeling by a tree saying, "A...B...C...D...E...F...G...H...I...J...K...L...M...N...O...P..."
The rescuers picked her up, hugged her and then asked her, "Why were you saying the alphabet over and over?"
"I didn't know what to pray," she explained, "and so I just gave all the letters to God and asked Him to string them together into the right words."
She fell silent for a moment and then lit up with a smile.
"He answered me!"
Nicely done David. Jim
