You know most people learn the Lords prayer in church or from a parent
Well as I have told you we traveled all through my childhood so yes I guess you can say I learned this prayer from a parent yep it was my mom
We always traveled back and forth from Florida to Tennessee and for some strange reason mom always had a small car because when we got settled we never got to ride in the car with her this just did not look cool for such a pretty lady to be hauling around a bunch of kids how in the world would she snag another husband but in between daddy's we traveled with mom back and forth sitting on top of each other I always sat in the floor board one of my brothers was always up in the back window now you see there were 6 of kids but no one was ever allowed to sit in the front or roll down windows see this made her nervous
She always had the longest switch on her dashboard so we never wanted her to get nervous that's another reason I sat in the floorboard cause she was so good at driving with one hand and not even turning around and she could hit at least 5 of them by the time she got un nervous
And we had to also listen to her sing Amazing Grace the whole ride never stopping cause we had bread and baloney and a jar of water needless to say we did not drink much cause when she pulled over for someone to pee they got smacked on the back of the head
So when we got close to Atlanta we all had to say the Lords Prayer until mom made it safely through Atlanta and On the way back home we would have to do this again now you see we went from fla to tenn about 20 times at least a year so by the time I was 3 I knew this prayer inside and out.
Because of this I do so love this Prayer but I will not go anywhere near Atlanta I will go all the way down thru Alabama just to get to Fla.
So people please appreciate the way you were taught this PRAYER
