My heart aches for my Mom. Her loss in my life is profound and I need my Lord now more than ever. She was a very present part of my life and I am not used to the fact that I don't have to go visit her and have lunch with her and keep her company while she watches television or lately as she laid in her hospital bed. I ponder the thought of how I would ever get through this without the love and promise of my God. The hope that lies within me that I will one day see my Mom again along with my Dad. They tell us my Mom was "gone" for 57 minutes and only revived for 3, yet my family and I all agree she was in glory all that time and probably said, 'I am out of here" when she was brought back. I smile when I think how she is now my guardian angel who loved me and encouraged me to be "me". She was my biggest fan, my greatest supporter and my best friend. I pray that you all have that in your life and that you cherish your Mom always. And if you are feeling estranged or angry with her, may this be the day you let the past go and call her up. Hug those you love, tell them you love them but most of all share Jesus with them. Share salvation with another who may not know the truth, for you will never understand how peaceful it is when you know your loved one is with Jesus. After my Mom was laid to rest we were contacted by someone my Mom used to babysit. She shared with us her testimony about how she was going through troubled times as a young girl and my Mom would share with her the love of Jesus and it comforted her. By sharing Christ with her, my Mom led the young girl to the Lord and she said it saved her life. Because my Mom took the time and shared the gospel with another, a life is now saved. It brought me such joy to hear this and that is why I loved her so much for that is who she truly was.....a Godly woman who simply believed.
