Munson, PA….where you and Dad raised me, Coatesville, PA….where my earliest memories with you, Dad, Patti, and Mark and also where you introduced me to King Jesus!!, and Dallas, Texas…where I lived 1400 miles away from you and couldn’t hold your hand or kiss your forehead and tell you “I love you”.
All of these are places. REAL places. Heaven is also a REAL PLACE!
When you lose somebody you love, the pain never goes away. It doesn’t get better. We just get better at managing that pain…we get better at going on.
I know that my mom is NOT in my past. She’s in my FUTURE. And that revelation gives me hope.
Jesus said that He came so that we could have life and have it to the full! And my dear mommy is on the other side of the portal in the full realization of that promise, today! What she lacked here on earth, she definitely is not lacking in Heaven! Every wrong made right today! No sickness, no pain, no tears where you are, Mom! You know I love you…but what I may not have told you enough is how thankful I am that you introduced me to our beloved Saviour, Jesus Christ! Both you and dad….that is your true legacy.
Nobody does it perfectly here on this spinning globe of dirt….I’m forever grateful that you had a relationship with the only one who ever did! And that you sang and played the piano and worshipped Him and modeled that love to me,& that made me want to know Him more! So thank you, precious Mommy. Give Daddy a kiss.
Today, despite intense grief I’m singing the song you taught me 35 years ago…. I know you were singing something to Him when you reached for His hand last night…
And then one day, I’ll cross that river
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain
And then as death gives way to victory
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He reigns
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives
Yes and Amen. Ruthie
