things momma told me
this morning i read something that just struck me as a little strange. for the life of me i can’t remember what it was. anyway it reminded me of some things my momma used to say…
like, “don’t make that face, you might freeze that way.” now i know how ridiculous that is because unless i died at that instant i was pretty safe that my face would return to normal.
my favorite, “ain’t no man’s mouth a prayerbook.” she’d say that whenever someone tried to convince her she was wrong, or get her to change her mind about something. i like this one because we sometimes begin to look at successful people and think they do no wrong. i have to sometimes remind myself that every man is a sinner that needs salvation by the grace of God. there is no one that escapes the power of sin on this earth, except Jesus, and you ain’t Jesus, (another thing my mother reminded me of more than once).
so what are the myths in your life. the stories that someone told you that became truth for you. for some reason God just reminded me this morning that i need to listen to His voice above all others. because as momma used to say, “ain’t no man’s mouth a prayerbook.”
