My dear mom has plenty of stories, and she always shares with us.Today she shared some new ones. I am sharing one with you here. When she was 11 years of age, she and her siblings had to carry heavy loads of corn filled sacks on her shoulders for many miles, as they (the family) were kulaks and they were left to live or die on their own.
She said: "...the back used to hurt a lot as it was a long journey , carrying those sacks of corn and our bones were not strong...."
I better stop, really, every time she shares stories from her young age in Albania (much worse then mine) I want to cry and scream " Why?" but then , I know what I have learnt from Mother Angelica who says:...".DO NOT WASTE YOUR SUFFERING. OFFER IT UP to THE LORD"
Hence, I offer it up to the Lord, for my mom and for all the mothers who have suffered so much.
Please dear Lord bless my mom and all the mothers and may their suffering be the key to your Love and Mercy. Amen! Happy Mother's day every one!
