Five Minute Friday: WHO

October 19, 2018 by admin 18 Comments

Kate said, “WHO.”

Good word prompt for a five minute write especially after working weeks and weeks on our family memoir with my sister. WHO, happens to be celebrating her birthday today! Happy and blessed day, Sestra.

There are so many WHO’s in my story. Those WHO influenced my life greatly.

Number one in that group would be my Grandma Emily. She was the one WHO had the boldness and the love to set me straight as a 33-year old newly single Mom in a relationship.

On her death bed in a Charlotte, North Carolina, hospital she told me straight.

My prayers were like sounding brass on a ceiling of solid metal.

She was right, you know?

She loved me with TRUTH.

She loved me with Jesus’ kind of love. He didn’t just love people and left them to their own wiles. He loved them enough to send them away healed and whole.

Go, and sin no more.

Go, and tell no one.

Go, you are healed and your sins forgiven you.

Jesus, was THAT kind of Truth-teller.

The kind I want to be.

WHO is your WHO?

    I always think of Horton when I see the word “who”! That one that speaks into me most on my birthday last year and this year is Holy Spirit. I always hear that whisper. Sometimes I want to wear earplugs because He always hits the nail on the head.

    And of course earthly people too are my who…my BFF’s, my Sister, my hubby. On these latest birthdays however, I find myself being someone else’s WHO! Who are you Who too?

    I am so very grateful for each “who” God has placed in my life over the years. Each one uniquely helped my faith to grow more deeply. And like you, my Gram played an important role in pointing me to loving God’s Word.

    My thoughts keep going to that song by the Who, a band and song I never much cared for but it sticks with me like an ear worm 😉 – ‘who are you, who, who?’ To go with your take on the prompt, my granny was also an important who in my life. She didn’t have much of an education but she started every morning reading her bible. She knew enough to know she needed Jesus and He called her his own.

    So glad you had a grandma Emily in your life. It was my grandmother who also impacted me in my relationship with Jesus. Thank you, Lord for grandmas.

    My ‘who’ is Squadron leader Philip Hunter, RAF, and CO of 264 Squadron at the beginning of the Battle of Britain.

    When asked what he felt about facing the might of the Luftwaffe using the hopelessly outclassed Boulton-Paul Defiant two-seat fighter, he replied,

    “we are in the place of honour, and we must accept it.”

    He was killed.

    I am also thankful for so many Who’s in my life–truth speakers and grace givers. I see even more as I get older the gifts they truly were. Thank you for sharing truth from your heart!

    My momma! She’s my truth teller. Not in the ways you’d imagine but through who she is and how she lives despite living with a mental illness.

The Very First

thing that went through my mind this morning?

Don’t be so fresh.

That is what my mom would say to anyone who said something crass, off-color, or…well, FRESH!
My mom was a character – my friend calls people like my mom, “Catbirds!”
I’m not even sure where my mom’s version of fresh fits in. Any help is appreciated!

Fresh

I do like the idea of something smelling fresh.
A fresh coat of paint.
A fresh outlook.
A fresh perspective.
It is fresh on my palette (regarding taste).
Sheets hung on the clothesline smell so fresh!

Look what I found…

They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, 15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright; He is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in Him.” Psalm 92.14-15

So…

At this point, on this dreary Friday morning – I am going to go have a fresh cuppa coffee. And, I intend to remain fresh and green, bearing fruit in my old age!!!
