Yesterday was my mom’s birthday. She celebrated in heaven, but I thought of her often throughout the day. She lived and loved here on earth for 95 years and was a walking history book. I miss that. There are so many things I still want to ask her.
There never seems to be enough time for us to enjoy our loved ones. We always want one- more- day. But her wisdom and faith are instilled deep inside me and will always be a part of who I am.
I especially remember that she told me that every night of her adult life, as her head hit the pillow, she would quote this scripture. I find it comforting day and night.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil. For Thou art with me.
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
