Lena Sain

An elderly grandmother/great grandmother recounts her incest experiences from age !1-16, and terroristic attacks from age 5. She takes you through her life, to include bios of her 5 children. This is a helpful (through Scriptures and helpful advice) for the reader. A professional, she has worked in the medical and legal fields for 33 years, having had editorial experience in the technical magazine field. Her husband collaborated with her in Part II of The Rest of the Story, he having been an ordained deacon for 52 years. We have worked a great deal together, buying and distributing “Christian Life New Testaments”, (from Porter Barrington’s store) as we travelled in our RV for about 10 years. We also worked together in the “Families Feeding Families” for our church. I joined Intercessory Prayer Groups with the churches we were affiliated with and always made ourselves available to the local nursing home facilities. We both worked as Sunday School teachers, whenever possible.

Introduction

Many people with whom I’ve shared my story have said that I should write a book, so I thought I should do it soon, since I am 80 years young! My only regret is that I might never hear from people who have been helped by the many blessings of my traumatic life.

MY SPIRITUAL GROWTH (or lack of it)

Easy to understand with my responsibilities with the 4 children growing up. And then, my flesh problem—I let too many things get in the way of what was most important. I had to be Miss Polly perfect, SO no one would get wind of my real flaws. As I have said before, we moved so many times and I felt I must make curtains and decorate 47 houses over the years and I wanted to be involved in EVERYTHING.

I am afraid my spiritual growth was hindered a great deal, for which I am so very sorry. I missed a lot by being so BUSY! Besides, I don’t really think that the condition of my salvation had become completely aware to me until very late. HE DIT IT ALL, FOLKS! He doesn’t really NEED YOU; though you need Him. Give yourself to him—NO CONDITIONS, IF YOU PLEASE! AND YOUR FAMILY WILL LOVE YOU SO MUCH MORE !

DEDICATED TO MY MOTHER

Mary

About my Precious Mother whom I still love very dearly, even though she has gone to be with the Lord for many years. My mother lived her faith in spite of the many instances of abuse by her family and husband. Though she was only able to complete the third year of high school, she was a brilliant woman. She held several important jobs as an auditor in a local hotel and with another local business. She wrote plays for the Dr. Christian Radio Show, early in her life, winning prizes for the family. She was a Sunday School Teacher at her church, played the piano for services and was faithful in the outreach program there, as well as managing the
