REFLECTIONS ON ISRAEL AND MOTHER'S DAY



                                                                             REFLECTIONS ON 

ISRAEL AND MOTHER'S DAY 


Isaiah 66.13
AS ONE WHOM HIS 
MOTHER COMFORTETH, 
SO WILL I COMFORT YOU; 
AND YE SHALL BE
COMFORTED IN
JERUSALEM.



LILACLADY JUNEBUG2 

Thinking today on what the Bible 
says about Israel, on her day May 9, 
and as to God's view of her, 
and of our Mothers.
When Isaiah penned this Word given from God, 
the warning of coming destruction and judgment 
upon Jerusalem had been already given.
Yet, in all the doom and gloom of the
warnings, here God
gives HIS VIEW.




AS ONE WHOM HIS MOTHER COMFORTETH 

ISAIAH 66.13  

This is a  PROMISE the LORD God gave
to Judah in her time of need.
The warnings of the Prophet Isaiah
to the southern Kingdom of Judah 
was that she needed to 
repent, and return
to the LORD God.

Judgment was coming on the land.
Warnings were everywhere.
No one wanted to listen.
No one wanted to hear.
Focus on what we are doing, 
they thought.
Focus on what was past.
and so they
were listening to 
the prophets who told them
good things were coming 
and not bad.
These however were false.
Their prophecies were not 
from the LORD God.


My Mother and Father with me 
as a little baby in June of 1933
Three days old, Daddy graduated
from High School the night I was born.
They were both 17 years old.   

When I read the words from this passage
"as one whom his mother comforteth, 
so will I comfort you"  I find a 
quality in the LORD God that usually
does not seem to be 
recognized by most.

My Mother was to me my dearest 
friend.   She nurtured me, from the time
I was conceived until I grew old 
enough to do for myself.

Her father wanted her to have
an abortion.
It was not "right" to have this child
he said.

Her husband wanted her to
have an abortion.
He was afraid.
He was young.
He was not ready.

but my Mother had faith 
that somehow
God would give ME  life.

She said, 
I took the abortives 
like I was told,
but I prayer 
very hard, 
God, please let this Baby come.

AND SO I CAME.

A bright brown eyed red head
of a little child.

My father grew to love me.
He listened to me when I told him 
things.
My grandfather accepted me 
and learned to be fond of me.

Although I never understood
that at this time
there was a sad
thing happening
in the world 
to the Jewish people,
I knew SOME THING
was not right.

Most people would say
"I imagine it"  but I know what
I heard when I was in 
my mother's womb.

It was 1933. Before I was born.
Hitler was speaking on the radio,
and Grandmother, Mother,
and me in Mother's womb were
there, listening to
the harsh 
shrill
loud
hateful
voice 
of 
this man Adolf Hitler.


When I was a little girl of three,
and wandered in my grandmother's
living room, I would see
the radio there and
I remembered 
THAT VOICE SO FEARFUL

No one talked about who he was.

I never heard anyone tell
me of what was 
happening.

But somehow,
I KNEW WHAT WAS
GOING ON.  

In my first day at school
as a Kindergarten student I 
attended in Boston MA 
to a class there.

A large class of about
sixty of us.

One lady took six of us 
into a circle of chairs 
to teach us 
how to read 
with flash cards 
and 
phonetic sounds.

I noticed on the board 
there was a 
picture of children
somewhere  where they
were also in 
class.

They looked sad.
They looked forlorn.
Wistful, solemn, not smiling.
Thin faces.
They must be hungry I thought.

Later I learned that 
was a picture from Germany.
It was placed on front page 
newspapers everywhere
proclaiming the 
goodness of German 
Education.


As a t small child I was very 
much aware of people and 
their feelings.

Here I felt I WAS SUCH A BIG GIRL
FOR GRANDMA TOLD ME I WAS 
HELPING HER WEED.



Here I am at 5 years of age.
It is now 1938 and the 
memories I still
have of the 
things I saw in my mind
and my spirit
of the hate 
the hurt 
the way people 
were treating other 
people 
made me 
a little 
cautious 
about 
making friends.

We moved a lot.
I mean, we moved a lot.
Daddy was out of work, looking
for work, and we went with 
him.   From Adams, MA to
Boston MA and back again
and then returning
to try again.
I found my MOTHER was 
indeed MY BEST FRIEND
THE ONE I COULD TALK TO
AND
SHE COMFORTED ME.

As I look back, and
see how God gave
me "impressions" of 
the Holocaust, yet 
gave me courage to live,
I think now of this passage
in Isaiah which 
God told His People
bad things were coming
and it was because 
they did not turn to Him.

As I looked at 
what happened in the Holocaust
and as I discovered later on,
that the Evil that men do 
to others is going to 
be judged by the 
JUDGE OF ALL 
THE LIVING GOD
THE ONLY TRUE GOD
will judge all 
the wicked.

As a child, of three,  I went 
to church on EASTER SUNDAY 
only to be placed 
in a Nursery
where there were blocks
and toys.

I looked - disappointed -
around - and then I SAW ON THE
WALL BY THE WINDOWS 
some pictures 
What were these? 
I stepped to look closer
and found
EACH ONE BECKONING ME
TO LOOK 
so I DID.  
IT WAS LIKE I WAS 
SURROUNDED BY A GLOW
I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY
THING EXCEPT THE 
PICTURES.

As I looked at these pictures
I saw an Angel with a 
woman....I thought about that ...
the next picture showed Mary traveling
on a donkey with Joseph by her side.
I did not know their names, but I knew from
Christmas songs who it was...Joseph and Mary.
Then I looked at a picture with Angels 
in the night air over the Shepherds. 
Then the Shepherds at the Manger.
The next picture showed 
the wise men worshipping the Baby.
Jesus as a little boy 
helping Joseph in carpentry.
Another picture showed
Jesus teaching the people from
a boat.  
Jesus blessing the children.
Jesus 
Jesus riding on a donkey
into Jerusalem 
people praising God 
as he approached
Jesus dying on the cross 
between two thieves,
and 
Jesus ascending into heaven
from the Disciples looking as he went up.

Brrrinng.......the Bell rang 
for the end of the Sunday School time.
NOISES LOUD  blocks crashed down,
children crying and talking, 
the glow went away
and I was in the 
NURSERY ROOM AGAIN.

It was like I had God's Spirit
telling me 
THIS IS THE STORY.
LISTEN TO IT.

When I got home, Mother asked 

"What did you learn about Jesus? 

I said,   Mother,  I saw some pictures

and I think God was telling me that He came as 

a little baby to show us Who God Is and He died 

on the Cross but He rose again, so when I grow up I will

find out more about  Him.    

WHY ? was this important to Mother?

She had already told me, 

that "because you are part Jewish, maybe

when you grow up, and find out 

Who God Is, you can tell me, and I will

believe.

Here my Mother and I stood in 
1955 at Grandmother's house.
I was grown now, in college, 
working, and looking toward
serving Christ.  
My Mother was my 
best friend.  
I was able to lead her
to a certainty of faith
in Christ Jesus our Lord,
but I believe her
simple 
childlike 
faith 
was begun 
when she had faith
to believe 
I would be born.




ISRAEL WILL BE COMFORTED

SO TOO WILL YOU  

NO MATTER WHAT THE PAIN
NO MATTER WHAT THE HEARTACHE
NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES
GOD 
WILL 
COMFORT 
US.

COME JOURNEY WITH ME 

Just as this old house, I am

a hope knowing I am 
bound for my 
heavenly home.
