Mama Used to Always Say
()
About this ebook
This book is the collection of wise sayings and advice that our Mama used to raise her children in the fifties and sixties in rural Oklahoma. If you have ever wished you could sit down with your grandmother or great-grandmother and just have a wonderful visit, this book is the next best thing. It is full of Mamas advice on everything from table manners to dating, marriage, and life in general. It presents truths that could change your life.
With common sense in short supply and disrespect for authority all too common, books like Mama Used to Always Say are a much-needed resource to replenish our souls. Just like a warm fire and a comfortable chair can make the world outside go away, this book can do the same with its parenting skills and techniques. It will take you to a time where parental authority was respected and people held to values that were as certain to them as true north on the compass.
Damaris Dobbs
I have been in leadership positions in both Jurupa, California where I was in charge of the women's ministry at Tree of Life Church for a season and In Cordell, Oklahoma at Grace Family Church and Generations Church where I have been involved in leadership positions and Prayer Ministries for the past twenty five years. However, with regard to this book, “Mama Use to Always Say," The best qualification I have is having lived it. I find it a great privilege to be asked to write all of Mama's sage advice down to share with others. Her family sincerely hopes that this book will make a difference in many people’s lives with something that seems to be getting rarer all the time, common sense, respect for our elders, and the one thing that makes either possible, Wisdom. I live in the sleepy little town of Cordell, Oklahoma of about twenty five hundred people. Downtown Cordell looks like it was the backdrop to the movie“Back to the Future” with the enormous court house and old movie theater. I have been married to the same man, David Dobbs for nearly forty three years. We have four grown children, five grandchildren. Two step grandchildren, two step great grandchildren. I love to write and have written several children's stories and dabble in folk art. Like all grandmothers my favorite thing to do is spend precious time with my family.
