Happy Mother's Day!
I sure am thinking of my own Mom right now. I miss her terribly. In July it will be two years since my sweet Momma' went to be with Jesus.
Some days I am strong and well in tune with life and death and how we were created as finite beings with the old three score and ten - or was that four score and ten - life span? Nobody has to tell me that death is inevitable and life does go on. I know that. But other days I feel as weak as a kitten and struggle to understand why loved ones have to suffer and die.
Then I remember God's plan. I remember how He promised that He would never leave or forsake us. I also remember that Jesus said in John 14:1 - "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God. Trust also in Me. In my Father's house there are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am..."
Although I miss my mother, I know I will see her again one day and I am hoping that we can have a room very close to one another when I make it to the pearly gates.
Meanwhile, tomorrow, when I celebrate Mother's Day with my own beautiful children and their precious families, I will treasure the moment and etch it deeply in my heart. I thank God that I was spared some more time to realize my blessings and gather more memories.

My Mom will spend time with us today, but I sure do miss my Dad. I'm grateful that I will be able to see him again. Hang on to the promises! Christ's promises! Happy Mother's Day to you and your family.
Hope your day was special Mom! I know Nanny was looking down on us all and smiling! I love that picture you posted! It's the last birthday I vividly remember of Nanny's....we were all there to celebrate her milestone and it was a great day! Nanny will always be remembered fondly and I miss her too very much! Love you Mom and I hope I have your strength! You've been an amazing rock this whole journey...and I know you'll continue to be strong....but don't be afraid to lean on us too! We can help you get through it! :D {{hugs}} xo Amanda
