Final (maybe???)  visit for Mom's "homegoing"

Just another astounding "Godincidence" that has occurred this week.   And this is truly amazing and wonderful.   A few weeks or so ago, my cousin and Mom went out to Calvary National Cemetery to visit some family graves.  As they were coming back from the site of Mom's old friends who are interred there, my Mom noticed the sayings on the stone markers that stood at each grave. She remarked to my cousin Marilyn, that she knew exactly what she wanted on hers.  She wanted it to say "dancing with Jesus."

Yesterday, as I was talking with Marilyn, she relayed this story to me.  She said she had forgotten all about it until that morning.  And even though Marilyn was there when we made Mom's arrangements, it never came to her mind.  But, and here is the amazing part, that is exactly what I told them to put on her marker!!  I didn't even hesitate or have to think about it.  That saying came to mind immediately when the funeral planner asked, as it did the morning she died, as I drove home from the hospital.

Now if that isn't God in control, well then I don't know what is.  He has been in every detail, every circumstance, part and plan!  He has taken care of everything. Even to the point of my cousin Carol needing a new small coffee pot because her's broke right before she left to come here and now she has my Mom's !!

This is the awesome God we serve.  The magnificent Father who loves us and cares for every little speck of our lives.  Nothing is to small for His notice, nor to big for Him to handle.  I am beyond words at the care He has exhibited during this time, and how He has worked all things out.  Thank You Thank You Thank You.

Don't ever think you are alone or that He isn't there and involved and working, even, or maybe especially when you don't see it.  His love never fails.

  1. That is awesome! I knew you had said that was what you were putting on the stone, and to hear about what your Mom said to Marilyn, I am tearfully so joyful of God's loving hand in all of this.
