Mama Told Me

Description

She’s a fighter, my mama. “Don’t you try to fool me! I don’t trust you. You may not have my best interest at heart. I grew up in hard times, and I learned never to trust anyone.” Then she met the Lord, and from that time on she trusted Him and leaned on Him every day for guidance. She was fourteen, and this was a new experience. She met a handsome young man she could trust, someone who really loved her. She was beautiful, and when their eyes met, she knew. He was strong, good-looking, and smart. Together they could make it in this cruel world. They were sure going to try. Bennie worked for Sears before the war, and in the army, he learned more about the shipping business. The knowledge he gained in the army was instrumental to his future success. They married, worked hard, and raised a family. It was the “all-American dream” come true.
