Grateful

One year ago today my Mom returned Home.  What a year of intense emotions it has been.  The blessing that has emerged over the past year is the evidence of courage, resilence, faith, strength, and peace that continues to grow in our family.  I am so thankful to God for a spirit of forgiveness.  It is often so difficult to find the will to forgive especially when blatant injustices have been perpetrated.  "But GOD"!  God owns everything and HE has given to us the gift of forgiveness.  Who are we that we would not give the same. Relationships surely will change and feelings of intimate connections may perish, but forgiveness must occur, it is commanded by God.  Thanks be to God for continued growth in that area.

I am grateful for the Mom I had for 61 and 1/2 years.  I am grateful for the lessons she taught me and the values she instilled in me.  I am grateful for the power, love, and sound mind God has give me.  I am grateful for the outstanding husband God has given me.  I am grateful for the children and grandchildren God has given me.  I am grateful for the sisters, nephews, niece, and coming family God has given me.  I am grateful for my salvation above all!

Our lives are moving on somehow without Mom's physical presences.  The carbon prints she left on our hearts, minds, and lives will never leave us.  She is in our laugh, speach, smile, eyes, and behavior.  We will always love her and remember she loves us more!
