My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such
an embarrassment.
She cooked for students & teachers to support the
family.
There was this one day during elementary school where
my mom came to
say hello to me.
I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me?
I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school one of my classmates said,
"EEEE, your mom
only
has one eye!"
I wanted to bury myself.
I also wanted my mom to just disappear.
I confronted her that day and said, " If you're only
gonna make
me a
laughing stock, why don't you just die?"
My mom did not respond...
I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I
had said, because
I was full of anger.
I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted ou t of t hat house, and have nothing to do
with her.
So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to
study.
Then, I got married.
I bought a house of my own.
I had kids of my own.
I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts,
Then one day, my
mother came to visit me.
She
hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her
grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at
her, and I yelled at
her for coming over uninvited.
I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and
scare my
children!"
GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!"
And to this, my mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so
sorry. I may
have
gotten the wrong address,"
and she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to
my house.
So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business
trip.
After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of
curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died.
I did not shed a single tear.
They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to
have.
"My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to
your house and
scared your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the
reunion.
But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see
you.
I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you
when you were
growing up.
You see........when you were very little, you got into
an accident, and
lost your eye.
As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you
having to grow up with one eye.
So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new
world for me, in my
place, with that eye.
With all my love to you,
Your mother.
Always tell someone that you love them because you
never know what day
will be their last, or your own.
Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements
with loved ones
because if either of you should pass on before, the
one who is left alive
will have the rest of their life to ponder those
unresolved feelings but
will never find closure. And closure usually brings
peace...
GOD BLESS YOU...
You really need to read this
"Oprah and Friends" to teach course on New Age Christ
Many of you, like me, have probably been Oprah fans for a long time.
This is very discouraging news to hear about one who has such tremendous
influence on the general public. Please ask God to show Oprah the real Jesus Christ.
Just to make sure this was true, I went on Oprah's website and there it is.
The below article is very interesting, so I thought I would share.

"Oprah and Friends" to teach course on New Age Christ
Jesus Christ being reinvented, redefined, and blasphemed and, this
false New- Age Christ teaching is about to make huge inroads into
the world, with the help of the queen of television talk shows, Oprah
Winfrey.
Oprah Winfrey, beginning January 1, 2008, on her daily radio program
will offer a year-long course on the New Age Christ , in a lesson a day
and completely cover the 365 lessons from the Course in Miracles "Workbook."
Listeners will be encouraged to buy A Course in Miracles for the year-
long course, and an audio version, recited by Richard (John Boy
Walton) Thomas will be available on compact disc.
Those who finish the Course will have a wholly redefined spiritual mindset-
a New Age worldview that include the beliefs that there is no sin, no evil,
no devil. A Course in Miracles teaches its students to rethink everything
they believe about God and life, and, bluntly
states: "This is a course in mind training" and is dedicated to "thought reversal."
The Course in Miracles -in reality-is the truth of the Bible turned upside down.
Oprah told her television audience that Williamson's book, A Course in Miracles
was one of her favorite books, and that she had already bought a thousand
copies and would be handing them out to everyone in her studio audience.
Oprah's endorsement skyrocketed Williamson's book to the top of the New
York Times bestseller list .
A Course in Miracles is allegedly a "new revelation" from "Jesus" to help
humanity work through these troubled times. This "Jesus"-who bears no
doctrinal resemblance to the Bible's Jesus Christ-began delivering channeled
teachings in 1965 to a Columbia University Professor of Medical Psychology,
Helen Schucman.
One day Schucman heard an "inner voice" stating, "This is a course in miracles.
Please take notes." For seven years she diligently took spiritual dictation from
this voice that described himself as "Jesus."
Here are some quotes from the "Jesus" voice of A Course in Miracles :
· "There is no sin . . . "
· A "slain Christ has no meaning."
· "The journey to the cross should be the last ' useless journey."
· "Do not make the pathetic error of 'clinging to the old rugged cross.'"
· "The Name of Jesus Christ as such is but a symbol... It is a symbol that
is safely used as a replacement for the many names of all the gods to
which you pray."
· "The recognition of God is the recognition of yourself."
· "The Atonement is the final lesson he [man] need learn, for it teaches
him that, never having sinned, he has no need of salvation."
Popular author Wayne Dyer told his PBS television audience that the
"brilliant writing" of A Course in Miracles would produce more peace in the world .
The Course in Miracles-based book, Forgiveness, continues to be sold in Robert
Schuller's Crystal Cathedral bookstore as Schuller prepares to host a January 17-19, 2008,
"Rethink Conference" at his Crystal Cathedral.
2 Timothy 3 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
2 Timothy 3
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
It's not surprising at all that Oprah Winfrey is supporting Barak Obama!!!
Christians.....Take heed!!
And PLEASE pass this one on.....if you never forward anything else!
