Today, I walked over to my baby
and piano and picked up my moth-
's family Bible as it is displayed
jely on lop of my elegant stringed
strument. The Bible is at least sev-
ty years old. I embraced it very
re fully for some of the pages and
en the cover are quite worn. From
is Bible. I remember my moth-
telling her three f
•vs, John. Jimmy, [.
d Tommy, the sto- |
about the coal of !
any colors. Gen- I
is 37:3 declares, ;
slow Israel loved I
seph more than I
I of his children I
■cause he was the
n of his old age: he
ade Joseph a coat
many colors.” Ev- ~
ently, Joseph was
e youngest child
the family. 1 can
rtainly relate to Jo-
ph because I was also the youngest
aling. I always felt like 1 was truly
ved, nurtured, and even protected
icause I was a lot smaller than my
others as we grew up in the commu-
ty of Lynchburg.
My first day of school in Septem-
ir 1953. 1 weighed a whopping
1 pounds. To this day. 1 remember
urse West putting me up on the scale
id weighing me. After weighing me.
,e remarked about my shirt that 1 was
earing and asked, “Did your mother
ake that shirt for you?” I proudly
iswered, “Mom made my shirt from
feed sack that we got at Lynchburg
led and 1 lard ware! We buy all of our
>rse feed and chicken feed there. The
cks are made of nice cloth and this is
e very first shirt that mama has ever
ade me!" 1 said, “I like my shirt!
urse West, do you really like if?"
ic said, “1 think it is lovely.” After
at she handed me a silver identifica-
jn tag. with my name and address on
To this day. 1 still have that ID tag.
Other things that 1 remember about
ose early school days were: the flag
as raised every morning on the flag
)le: we said the Pledge of Allegiance,
e prayed at the beginning of school
id we always blessed the food be-
ire eating lunch. One day the teach-
asked me to pray and I said,’’May
sing the blessing?” 1 sang. “Praise
od from whom all blessings flow,
•aise him all creatures here below,
•aise him above ye heavenly host,
-aise Father Son and Holy Ghost. I
en held out a long AMEN’
1 would like to close this message,
vly Coat of Many Colors,” by saying
at my coat wasn't actually a coat of
any colors, it was a shirt. The year
ould’ve been approximately 1957,
id I was in the fourth grade. One ol
y best friends growing up and still
?st of friends, is Joel Whitaker. We
jgan school together and have re-
ained good friends all of our lives,
row ing up Joel's dad, Calvin Whita-
ir was my little league coach. We
on three championships in a row.
aseball is so much fun. especially
hen you are winning. It was during
ose early little league days that Jo-
’s mom made both Joe! and me a
lecial shirt of many colors.
I’m sure like Dolly Parton’s song
jclares about her mom’s handiwork
lat Dolly’s mom took pieces of ma-
rial from many different sources and
itchworked them into a beautiful
ork of art. Just as Dolly Parton w as
) proud of the coat her mom made
>r her, both Joel and I were very
roud of our very special patchwork
lirts of many colors. Of course, we
ould wear them on the same day and
e felt very special to know that no-
ody else in the world had a shirt like
iirs.
Joel's mom is Nadean Whitaker, a
ingtime resident of Baytown. I ap-
reciate her love, care, and friendship
trough the years. Something big is
bout to happen in her life, for she
celebrating her 90th birthday very
x>n. Most people can count their
ue friends on one hand, and seme-
mes have a few fingers left over. The
/hitakers, Calvin, Nadean, and Joel
ave always been a major part of my
fe. Their faith in God and their sin-
ere love for me has been a bond of
iith, hope, and love that has spanned
ver the last seven decades.
The Whitaker family has always
ointed me to Christ and I will forever
herish their friendship. Friends are
•iends forever and a true friend loves
t all times.
From then, till now, and through
temity, I’ll always remember MY
OAT OF MANY COLORS.
