Mother's Day is always a day that I am extra sensitive to others. While I celebrate, cherish, and am thankful for my mother and her importance in my life, am forever thankful and amazed at the blessing of being a mother to my four sons who love me so, I have many family and friends near and dear to me who have varying emotions around this "celebratory" day. There are those who have lost their mother within the past year, or years past that sill holds a huge void in their hearts and lives. There are mother's who have lost children in the womb. Mother's who have lost their children from birth to adulthood unexpectedly and from short and long-term sickness. Those who want so desperately to have a child of their own and have not been able to conceive. Those who made decisions that they still regret (who I pray know God's forgiveness, and can learn to forgive themselves). There are those who don't have good relationships with their mothers, or children who despise their mothers. Mother's Day holds different emotions for each person. I pray for all of my friends and family this day in all areas of motherhood. May the Lord surround each individual and bring comfort, joy, peace, and blessings.

17 days~
17 days
April 9th 2021 my brother Danny tested positive for covid. April 26th 2021 he breathed his last.
17 days
My family had no idea that this would be the outcome! It has made me think a lot about life, James says, "For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away" (James 4:14b).

Do you have any unresolved family conflict? Settle it now! You do not want to live with the regret that you didn't make things right.
17 days
Is your house full of meaningless stuff? Simplify.
17 days
Connect with your family. Don't neglect an opportunity to tell them you love them. Give an extra hug. Share the hope of Jesus.

If we knew our days were numbered, I believe we would live differently, and focus on what... more importantly, who... matters, and not so much on making our house look a certain way, or fill it with things.
17 days
While we may have more than 17 days, we very well may have less. Our days ARE numbered. Make the most of every single one. We are but a vapor.

I miss my brother. I know he is not sad. I know he is with the One in whom he trusted, loved, shared, and served. In his passing, I have learned so much about living. ♡
