It struck a cord in me. I know both my children are holding on to things in their childhood that hurt them and they still seek for relief. I feel I can provide them that relief if I let them know I feel their pain and have always known their hurt. I will make sure I give them that relief. Thank you for opening my eyes to this. I love them both so very much and one thing I never wanted for them was to have heartaches. God B;ess You. I read this message regard the letter from your Mother. It struck a cord in me.

However, she inscribed a Bible and gifted me on my seventh year of life. It read, "The entrace of Thy word giveth light." She taught me my first song, "Jesus Loves Me." I am now approaching 80 and have just completed a DVD to be played at my funeral. It is my testament to my faith and to God's mercy and grace. I will leave on a note of faith and joy. I hope my testimony will be a blessing to any who hear it even after I have breathed my last. Love you, Brother. God bless you, your family, and your ministry. You have blessed me many times even though I have never met you except via TV and your messages. Bill, My mother was unable to write or speak last words.

As the son of a mother that was married twice before I was two grew up in a very complicated family environment. I could certainly see the benefit of knowing perspective of the adult that navigated through these impressionable years. Although I have tried to forgive certain family members there are always those unanswered questions that inhibit the forgiveness process to run to completion resulting in needed healing. As a parent I have worked very hard to simplify my daughters life. However, as hard as you try you can not shape a child's thoughts and percections that lead to deep seeded pain.
