There is trouble all around us. Chaos, disturbances, bitterness and rage. Many have become cold, selfish and others are heartbroken. We all wish at times we had followed the way we feel, what our parents or grandparents said...in essence, what God could be saying. There are countless mistakes that could have been avoided, numerous accidents and, lots of distasteful experiences. There is the saying, "If only I had known." And, sad to say, this saying always comes at the end, when the wrong is already done, when the mistake is already made; when our backs are against the wall. It is at this point that we remember all the proverbs, pithy sayings, all the precepts and all the catchphrases and words of wisdom.
I have been made to wonder why it feels like we are, to an extent, losing much of the fun, love, joy, peace and togetherness of life. Could it be, just could it be, that we have become a little "too modern" in underestimating the power of what "Mama Used To Say?"
In this book, you are encouraged to let the ancient words of wisdom dwell in you richly. It is a call to return to the precepts that have guided our lives, and the lives of our ancestors for centuries. Though we might not avoid all the ills of life, I do believe that there is much we could we forego, if only we would remember what “Mama Used To Say.”
