I am going to miss you Mom and can't at this time sum up all the good and beautiful things you have brought into my life-specially, adopting me when nobody else wanted me! But I will rejoice in knowing you are free from the body and home with the Lord Jesus!
Although, not having you physically here, there are things I'm going to miss. Like, I will miss your wisdom and loving care you had all these years for your whole family. I am so saddened we won't be able to talk on a weekly basis or have your powerful prayers for us daily-as those prayers kept us all safe from the hardness and cruelties of life. I will miss your calmness in the mist of the storms life seems to bring now and again. I will miss how you would give me advice which only came through the love you had for me and our family-wanting only the best for us! I will miss having the ability in just being able to pick up the phone and know you where always there for me to listen or add good godly counsel. And from that, I have learned from you good godly principles from your selflessness and giving ways. I can go on with all the things I will miss by not having you physically here, but that would be selfish of me to keep you from the glory you now have! I am thinking of that verse in;
Revelation 21:3-4 (ESV)
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
However, again I'm sadden and rejoice knowing you are free body and reunited in spirit with Husband and good friend Charlie, besides all those who have gone before us-even our pets! What a wonderful gathering and home coming it must be as the Heavenly beings, all your friends and dearly beloved- all rejoicing for another good godly spirit enters through the gates-coming home to our true resting place-eternity with God! I know I will see you again Mom!
Lastly, I will miss hearing your favorite quoted verse, which has become a powerful verse in my life;
Isaiah 41:10 (ESV)
"10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. "
I love you mom and am eternally thankful for you! See you again-Amen!
