Today my parents and I had lunch with a couple of my mom’s music friends. They were all piano teachers. While they were teaching, they also all took lessons from the same person. My mom was in her 40’s when she started learning from the older and more experienced woman. Even though my mom is an unbelievable piano player, she was humble enough to know that she didn’t know it all. She talked about how much she learned from the woman. All three of the ladies reminisced about their teacher who died a few years ago at the age of 93. One of my mom’s friend’s said that they all enjoyed training under her, but that my mom was her favorite. My mom remembered that sometimes when she played, it would bring tears to the woman’s eyes. I feel that way sometimes too.

I Found God today displayed in my mother’s humility and love for her mentor.
