A couple of years ago, Mom commented on how beautiful a friends Christmas cactus was. She loved the flowers on it. She was blessed to receive one of her own and was thrilled by the first time it bloomed. I can remember her excitedly pointing out the buds and then celebrating the first blossoms.
About a week ago I once again noticed buds on it. And this week the flowers came popping out. It just reminded me that she is still with me.
As I go through updating her apartment to make it ready to rent out (something I am not completely happy or at ease with but a necessity all the same), I almost feel invasive of her space. And of course there are all the memories that are so very alive there. But I believe that God allowed that little cactus to bloom as sign from Him and her, that it's ok. It is as it is meant to be. I feel it is a stamp of approval on what I am doing.
Thank you for this Lord, for Your encouragement.
