Today we will celebrate my mother's life on this earth and rejoice that we will see her again in Glory.
Thank you so very much! You have been more than kind, more than loving, more than good to me. I appreciate so much every comment, every note, every email. It is actually overwhelming in a warm and wonderful way. God bless you.
The song below will be played today. It's become such a favorite with me and perfectly echoes my sentiments on this day.
I'm thinking of you on this day. Praying you find comfort and strength.

Vee,
ReplyDeleteA human life is a story told by God. -Hans Christian Andersen- Your mother's life was and still is a beautiful story to be cherished a retold as you celebrate her today. May the God of all comfort soothe your hurts during this time of loss. May the memories be sweet and the tears be few. May you feel the loving embrace of the Father giving you strength for this day and those to come.
I am keeping you all in my prayers. God Bless.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You'll be in my prayers throughout the day...I feel like I knew your Mom in some small way...through you! A celebration of her life on earth and continues in His presence!
ReplyDeleteGive me Jesus! Because He is all that is worth living for and dying for! Your mother's life is a precious testimony to that.
Love you and praying for His strength and grace for each one!
My thoughts and prayers continue, Vee, especially today. I am so thankful too for this BLESSED HOPE!
ReplyDeleteMay you and your family feel the warmth of God's arms, and of all of us who care so deeply for you.

ReplyDeletedear vee,

was heartbreaking for you.

and cover your heartache with His balm.
Vee,
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of you and praying for you often during this past week. Know that "you are loved with an everlasting love," and "underneath are the everlasting arms."
My thoughts are with you. I lost my mother in 2005 and still think about her every day. Like you, I hope to see her again one day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful picture of your mother... my own dear mother went ahead of us to prepare the way in 2008, but is still here just over my shoulder, always guiding. You were lucky to have yours for so long.
ReplyDeleteHi, my friend. I hope this day was a blessing and a celebration of your mom's life for you and yours. I pray His comfort all around you and your family. It's so good know that we WILL see them again - those who've gone on before. It makes us long for the day when we'll all be reunited. Knowing YOUR heart, Vee, I know that she who raised you must have been such a blessing to all who knew her. I believe her love and her spirit you will carry with you in your heart. I pray you'll all be filled with nothing but good memories.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for you loss. What a joy to celebrate your love ones life and her entry into Heaven. May God continue to meet you as you walk through this loss and may you feel His loving balm upon your heart.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you dear Vee and also your family. I hope you are doing okay in these tough days. You will see her one day again and what a wonderful reunion it will be. xo Terri

Dear Vee,
ReplyDeleteI was so heartbroken when I read of your mother's passing. My heart goes out to you and your family. You have all been through so much. Please know that my prayers are with all of you.
It brought tears to my eyes when I read of your mom's passing. While it is never easy, how much more difficult it has to be so soon after your grandmother.

Vee, when I read that your mom had died unexpectedly, I felt a startle in my chest at the news. We are connected by our faith in the Lord, so I, too, hope to meet her in heaven one day, as I hope to meet you. I am so sorry that she is no longer with you but celebrate her time on earth.
ReplyDeleteCheryl
Thankfully we do not grieve as those with no hope. Our hope and salvation are in the Lord.
