I glanced over to where my mother is buried and realized that I had not visited her grave for several weeks. I used to go daily (since it was so close). I spent my time last night mourning again the loss of fellowship, but then more thinking about what she was experiencing in Heaven and remembering that one day, I'll be there too. Focusing on what God has done and is doing does help get through those moments.<br />DeborahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838326545586391525.post-69127101003023673772011-10-10T06:58:37.976-04:002011-10-10T06:58:37.976-04:00Dear Sister in Christ I am sorry for your lost.

He was a young man of just over 50 so it was unexpected. I was single then. I am single now. My parents were married for more than 30 years. The irony. <br /><br />I like what the Bible says about grief and loss. It is great to know where our loved ones are. Who they are with and that we will see them again. Those of us who are left are only here to live out our purposes in Christ.<br /><br />As the shock wore off I really accepted that I didn't want my loved one on earth one more day when heaven was an option and Jesus had extended an invitation. <br /><br />I wanted my father to eventually walk me down the isle and see future children I might bear. It was not to be. Instead there are the memories.SingleMamma4Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408714244165866932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838326545586391525.post-87324445641538487682011-10-10T06:55:00.187-04:002011-10-10T06:55:00.187-04:00Thanks for sharing!Still praying!Thanks for sharing!Still praying!Kissed by the Creatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692586773245731826noreply@blogger.com
