My Mother Learns To Write

 

 My mother may be illiterate but she is really an amazing woman. For so many years, all she could write was her name, something we taught her which she did with weak strokes so that she could sign our report books after father passed away, and because she wanted to learn to write her own name.

So I was amazed one day when I found a number of square exercise books with Chinese writings in them. I thought my nephew had been practising writing. It turned out that they were my mother's work!

It all began with the day her cell leader told the group that writing verses would help them to remember the Word of God. My mother said she didn't know how to write. Her cell leader said it was okay. She would help her. So she held my mother's hand to write the first time. Just one time. My mother believes that somehow with that, she had also received an anointing that enable her to write.
