my mom

I have been thinking about my mom  a lot lately. We moved away 12 years ago. In that time a lot has happen. Her health got seriously very bad. I made many trips back to see what could be done.  The result was moving her into a home that specialized in memory loss.  My mom has been gone a little over 2 years. We now have moved back and I wish and long to see her as she was when I left. I know it was very hard on her to have her oldest daughter leave to go across the country. We didn't always see eye to eye on things, but we loved each other. My mom would always encourage me and help where she could in our walk of faith,even if she didn't always get it.  The thrill I had when just before she died, I knew she had made her peace with God. My mom gave me a love for flowers and working in my yard with flowers. She gave me a love for animals.

This is why I am thinking of her. If she was here she would have loved my cat-Joy.  Joy would have made her laugh as much as she has made us laugh. She would have worried over joy and been after me to make sure I was doing everything right.  Maybe joy would have loved her more than me! Mom would have spoiled her worse than me.

Mom I love you and wish I could tell you that one more time.'

Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more,

 — a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.
~George Herbert

This month, I want to remember the blessings the

Lord has poured out on me.

He didnt have to, He did it because He loved

me.

Thank you my precious Saviour for dying for me.

Thank you for forgiving me from my sins

Thank you for giving me victory over sin every day of my life.
