I REMEMBER MAMA


David and I watched the old black and white movie, "I Remember Mama" again,tonight. Such memories......
I can still recall watching this movie for the very first time, with Grandmother Bouterse in her trailer,back in the early 50's.
Irene Dunne's Norwegian accent was alot like Grandmother's Dutch accent, and it brought back such sweet memories of her in that humble little trailer.
Especially the scene,where "Mama" was furiously mopping the floor, while her little daughter lay so sick in the hospital. "Mama" made the statement, (when questioned why she was mopping),that "there comes a time when you have to get down on your knees." She knew what she had to do,to relieve her heartache and frustration over her daughter being so ill.
We know what to do, in order to relieve our frustration, and heartache if we'll just do it!. We don't have to do the mopping either.....
We just have to get down on our knees, and pour out our heart to Him...Then,just let God mop up all our worries and sins in one fell swoop......
