Thank You, Lord…

for an outreach of love perpetrated by my children!

From the cake from daughter, Crysta (along with numerous other lovely gifts) to the wonderful necklace from daughter (from Barry’s previous marriage), Amanda

to the various phone calls and text messages from sons….

all of these things made my first Mother’s Day  without Mom  not only bearable, but joyful and full of love!

Father, You know every emotion – every feeling – I will feel.  You  have moved mountains, and Your very word tells of our ability to move mountains in faith! 

In Your predestination of me, You knew this would be a very difficult time for me – and You held me closely to Your bosom.  You loved me so much that You moved my children to step up to the plate, in subtle ways, to comfort me

There is no thing You cannot do, and there is no thing You will not do for Your beloved.  I cannot sing Your praises enough – I cannot give You enough glory for Your love. 

I pray You will accept this offering of praise from me – and I pray it in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
