The second portion of the chapter is McBride’s story, which includes both insight into his mother and also his mixed racial and cultural ways. He wrote The Color of Water in chronological order to enhance the reader’s awareness of McBride’s, his mother’s, and his family’s growth and development. The dedication of The Color of Water reads, “I wrote this book for my mother, and her mother, and mothers everywhere,”. Throughout, McBride shares how his unique mother faced many struggles throughout her life. Although she was raised in an Orthodox Jewish family, she married a black man, and then went on the raise all her children as Christians.
Every time she was faced with hardship, she remembered the struggles that her parents faced and it gave her strength to continue on her journey. In addition to everything happening in high school, she was also very involved with her church. She sang in the choir, taught catechism, created a youth group and attended many retreats. This all taught her how to deepen her faith and have better time
She was a strong woman with strong beliefs. She raised eight children while her husband Simon Bradstreet worked to support his family. She also took care of all the house chores while he was at work, and while doing all this Bradstreet even found time to write. She shows how strong she was and hard times were, through her writings. This is where she changed some of her puritan beliefs into religious and pro-feminist beliefs.
To provide for her needy family Mary took up a job as governess in 1860 at her Aunt and Uncle's place at Penola in South Australia. She was to look after their children and teach them. Already set on helping the poor whenever possible, she included the other farm children on the Cameron estate as well. Mary’s Call to Religious Life Mary worked hard to provide
There are plenty of different views on what the poor should deserve or be privileged with. Some believe they should not be privileged with “food stamps” or other opportunities to help them out. Lowell created programs to aid the poor. Yet, Lowell created so many useful programs involving the government that has helped us today. (Dorn) Lowell already proved that she would side with the deserving because she has founded all of these programs and organizations to help the poverty and defenseless.
She was so dedicated, she was a good Christian, but instead a getting something good in return she suffered and suffered till the end...She prayed day and night, hoping that her prayers and would be answered after all her suffering, but at the end it seemed that the Big Man had other plans for her... Jesus Christ said that the greatest thing is to sacrifice yourself for your friends. Indeed if Nanni did something in her life it was to sacrifice herself for all of those that ignored her and mistreated her and especially for the Respected Josiah Bryn-Bevan that she so loved and was proud of till the end. Caradoc Evans in ‘’Be This Her Memorial’’ wants in a way to attack the hypocritical Welsh people, he wants to show how religion can be bad at times and how we have to think not just follow, because if we just follow without thinking we might end up like Nanni, sacrificing everything without getting anything in
Maggie knows she deserves the quilts made by her grandmother and aunt far more than Dee does but of course Dee thinks that everything is about her and that she should have what she wants. Maggie probably thinks that Dee will get the quilts because she had seemed to be Mama’s favorite, but not this time. Like Mama says, “This was Maggie’s portion.” Maggie deserves them way more than Dee. It is like they are back in church where once she would give Dee her “slightest whim,” she now refuses. After the fire it left Maggie with scars on the inside and out and that is why she acts so shy and timid throughout her
It was spread though missionary work. The church set up some of the first schools, hospitals, and hotels. Monks and nuns were people of the church that truly advance their society.

Their main goal ounce again was to evangelize with the local people there about Christ. They stop many places including Iconium, Lystra and Derbe (Acts 13:13-20). They not only shared the gospel in these places, but they also established churches as well. Everywhere they traveled, one thing was obvious, they were evangelizing and preaching the word of God and raising people up to keep the church alive while they were gone. This tie in with Paul’s letter writing and even his epistles because everything he did even in later life was to help raise others up in the church and to save souls for the Kingdom of God.
The locals quickly perceived Oprah “gifted” at the age of three because she was a talented speaker when she spoke at church. In kindergarten, she wrote to her teacher, “I don’t think I belong here because I know a lot of big words”, so she skipped kindergarten. She learned discipline and drama in the Southern Baptist Church, but she left the organization as an adult. Oprah moved around several times as a child. When she was six years old she moved to Wisconsin with her mother.
