A Mother's Patient Wait
Story★★★★★Early one morning in a certain city, at the gate of a prison, there was observed a very tender sight. An aged mother sat in an humble cart waiting for the release of her son from the prison. She had driven many miles from a distant city, and she looked very worn and weary. On the vacant seat beside her was a little basket of dainty food, and a change of outer garaments. Her tearful, eager glances toward the prison gate showed how much love the prisoner who was about to be released would find awaiting him. The mother loved her son, though he had been sinful and wrong. God loved us while we were yet sinners and gave His Son to die for us upon the cross.—Christian Herald.
