roses for moma

This morning my Dad and I went to

Bonadventure Cemetary.

We picked up a big bundle of roses

and I made a beautiful arrangement to place on

 my Mom's grave.

 

Five years ago this morning she passed from this earth.

I was standing by her side holding her hand when she went away.

For all of her cookbooks,

pots&pans

shoes and sweaters

purses

and her collection of angels

she had no more need.

She left all of her earthly possessions behind.

 

I miss her....can't believe it has been five years.

 

We can't settle in here.

Life on this earth is temporary.

We are promised eternal life and mansions in glory

but we must first pass over to the other side.

We must leave all that we know and love,

put all of our trust in Jesus,

and believe Him

for all He has promised.

 

How do I know this?

It is plain spoken in the word of God,

and Jesus

has given me His Spirit

to have faith in all that it says.

 

Roses for Moma today...

I'll always love you sweet one.
