Golden Nuggets from Nita:
- Life can be difficult and you simply must roll up your sleeves and get to work on the HARD. (Her 4 brothers went to serve in WWII and she and her sister were relegated to running the family farm)
- Grateful to be from a family of DEEP convictions. Do we have deep convictions?
- God uses all things!….ie: the strong hands that came from milking cows helped her basketball career where she ended up with a college scholarship and the title of All American.
- God use every difficulty to teach you something worthwhile.
- Hard work helped her to pay her way through college.
- Her family stressed education and the need to pay your way through life so that you would gain the most from it.
- The poor behavior of professing Christians can make baby Christians stumble and withdraw from the faith.
- Conversely, the behavior of Christians can open the eyes of others to believe in the faithfulness and presence of God.
- Tithing BY FAITH is always rewarded. Tithe first. Pay bills afterwards.·
- They practiced a “family altar” time every Sunday evening where the family read the word together and prayed together. Foundation of their family of faith.
- Nita and her husband, Lee, always prayed together as a foundation of their lifelong marriage.
- Christains need to set a good example.
- Treat ALL people the same no matter what! Never discriminate.
- Reach out to those in need. It is a beautiful Christian testimony.
- When people change their hearts, they will change their choices!
