Wednesday will be one week since my Mama passed away. It seems like a minute ago and a month ago at the same time. There is so much that has to be done that one does not have time to mourn, although I have lost it many times. The funeral was Saturday and was exactly what she wanted. My pastor Barry preached a beautiful service. My family has been working hard to get all the things done associated with the loss of a parent. In the midst of all this, the Lord has been so good to us. We see His hand in this situation. My mother had to take care of her parents for years. One thing she always told us was that she did not want us to have to take care of her. She did not want a long illness and did not want to be a financial burden to us. I realized that all her prayers were answered. In the midst of sorrow are special moments of joy. My Mama got her heart's desire. God listened and had mercy on her. Whitley said that it was good that Mimi is in heaven because there are no boo boos in heaven. Well said little one! Mama lived 87 good years. We will be thankful for that. Hug those you love John 11: 25-26 - Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"
