My mama joined the internet world yesterday. After years of protecting her home from the evils of what we all know is there in the internet world, she desired to read my blog and keep in touch with those that communicate on email (that would be me!). She was excited in realizing that she would get more experience in working a computer as well as a confidence in doing so. She realizes the dangers of the internet world, but sees the protection that can also occur and is taking those precautions.
She so often has gotten teased or given the look of "step into the computer age." She knew it would probably be good for her to learn, but she had no desire until recently. As I watched my husband teach her what to do and where to go I was struck by a humbleness of sorts. Here is a heart who only desires the things of the Lord and in her efforts to protect her home flowed forth a depth of purity. Now, there's nothing wrong with the computer per say and I personally find it wonderful, but we all know the dangers and the evil that takes place here, but she choose to detour from its path. What I saw in my mom as she so unknowingly tried her best to learn everything was a pure heart. She hasn't cared what others thought, what they might have said to her...her mind was fixed on Him and what He put on her heart for the time being. It was precious for me to watch. I feel like in this day and age that I need to keep up with technology & all that is occurring in this world, but I have to tell you...I would much rather have the heart I see in her any day over keeping up with this day and age. You see, her heart is simple, pure, and in this area child like...and isn't that what the Lord encourages us to be like? May my heart take example from her. It's not the keeping up that matters...it's the seeking Him that truly covers all.
Oh, and by the way Mama...you're doing a great job and I'm proud of you! Love you.
