My Mama’s Leg

Mama couldn’t walk and couldn’t put baby to bed, so Daddy put Judith to bed and Mama read me a story.

Mama couldn’t hardly do anything. She couldn’t walk with her leg and couldn’t get breakfast, so Daddy helped with breakfast and Mommy took care of the baby. She had to rest her leg and lie down. Mommy wanted to be anointed and have oil on her head, because she was sick and she wanted God to help her get better. So we prayed at Prayer Meeting for God to fix mommy’s leg. After prayer meeting we went home. Mommy’s leg was still sick, so Daddy held her by the hand. When we got home Mommy felt stronger so she could do my bath and did baby. After a few days Mommy said, “My leg is all better.” Now Mommy could walk without hurting. She could go up the steps and down the steps. Mommy was very happy because God had given her a new leg. Daddy was happy too.
