"When I was young, my mom would split one egg among four children."
That's a sobering statement. I had to read it a few times to let
it sink in. One egg for four children. How often do I scramble three or
four eggs just to serve on the side of toast, hardly giving it a second
thought?
One
egg is not enough for four children. Norma knew that when she was
young, and she knows it now, as a mother with a son of her own. Her
story is one of resilience.
Let's continue praying for one another—and for our shared resilience—as we journey through Lent.
Prayerfully,
