Mar 20th More ’40 & ’50 Memories!

As I think back to when I was kid, who is in the Orphan Home –there was one thing that I really enjoyed doing. It was to work in the Bakery! Not everyone likes to work, but just as I was getting old enough to start letting people know how I felt about what I was doing and what I would like to do – I would just go to the Bakery – whenever I did not have to be somewhere else.

Why would someone want to go to work – when they didn’t have to? It was hard work and there was no PAY! But, there was a NUN, Sister Augustella, and she could stand in for my Mother – because she was so much like my Mother in what she would say and how she would talk. If was FUN for me to be around Sister Augustella – she was the only FUN NUN that I know of. Also, I am not the only one who thinks this. So many older girls than me would also go to the Bakery to work and enjoy every minute in her company.

On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, when all the work was done- we would come in and sit in the inner room where – it would almost seem like you were at home. It was one such afternoon and I was going in the first door to the Bakery, and it was so quiet, I was not sure if anyone was in there? I was walking very slow and as quiet as a mouse – and there was some serious conversation going on? I was half listening and trying to see if I recognized the voices – and with a few words that I heard –I had to stop in my tracks, just to be sure as to what I was hearing?

This was a first for me to hear – they were talking about the end of world – the Sun and the Moon falling to earth and all the terrible things that were going to happen when the end came!

In our Religion Classes in school – we never read directly from the Bible- and never had any real information about what Revelation has to say about the end? This was something that I needed to hear – in order to start a need to know directly from the Bible – so that I would have the Word of Almighty God, as it is necessary for each of us to know.

I’ve heard that there are no accidents in Life. So, evidently, – at that point in my LIFE – I was suppose to hear that discussion – and later, wanted to find out for myself – what is the Word of God – As It comes from the Bible!
