One year ago this morning, at 7:28 a.m., my mother opened her eyes and took her first breath in heaven. Faith became sight. Sickness became healing. Fear became joy. Worry became eternal peace. Jesus Christ took her weary hand in His nail scarred hand. She was given a robe and a crown. A saint returned home.
And heaven rejoiced.
I love you so much, mom. I miss you with an ache that is almost physical. The weight of grief is the hardest burden I've ever carried. It never gets any easier. I will miss you until my last breath. You were wonderful and I'm so thankful you were my mother. I hope I've made you proud.
Though I fail Him many times, I'm following Jesus just like you taught me. So when you see me crossing the Jordan River one day, please come running to me. I'll be running to you.
I am sorry for your loss, but happy to know your mom is with Jesus.

Oh, my sweet girl- I am so so sorry. I can't believe it has been a year already and yet for you I am sure each day has been one more long-count down. You were so lucky to have a mom that you loved and that loved you so much. God was good to you. Loss is never easy even when we know the journey is pain-filled and full of anxiety and angst. We are NEVER ready to lose those we love. Sending you a big "mom" hug-xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry!
ReplyDeleteWow! That was a year already? Time really flies so fast! And yes, it's never the same when we lose loved ones. But much more with our mothers. There is something special, a bond that can't be equaled between a loving mother and her children. When I lost my mom, it felt like our house back home was truly dark. There was a void in my heart that nothing could fill. Until... the Lord's love and grace reminded me of the imperishable hope He gives to those who believe. So, I rejoice with you sister at the same time. To know that the Lord's love and promises are unwavering. Someday... We'll see our mothers again. What reunion! For now, while it's hard for us down here, I send you my prayers, love and blessings. May you find comfort in those loving mem'ries you shared with your loving, sweet mother. She's beautiful! I'm sure her heart is much more!!! I gather that from her daughter through this blogland. God bless and strengthen you always.
