| Joseph Armstrong's father showed more concern for his farms and
horses than he did for his wife and children. Work was first. Mishaps
were dealt with harshly. Praise was a foreign language. The family
suffered cruel scorn, rejection, and deprivation. All the while,
Bennet Armstrong hypocritically portrayed himself to others as
flawlessly pious. The Armstrong home was a potential hotbed for
bitterness and emotional desolation. Thankfully, a devout mother
bridged the gap, loving her children, telling them Bible stories,
teaching them to respect their father, and praying fervently for their
safety and salvation. Annie Armstrong's prayers were heard. Joseph
came to trust his kind heavenly Father who helped him love and forgive
and rise above his circumstances to a life of purpose and peace.
This story, sometimes heartrending, sometimes heartening, points to
the one true hope for all man's miseries--Jesus Christ, the true Light
from heaven. | |
