Mother's Day

Mother's Day was a little sad for me.  It's only the second one I've spent without my Mom, and I think even if it was the 22nd one, I will always feel somewhat melancholy, much like I do on Father's Day.


My husband and I were driving to the nursery to purchase flowers to plant in the beds.  My color theme this year is yellow and white.  Driving along, I was missing Mom...she like to help out with the gardening...as the years went by she wasn't able to do as much, but she still kept a hand in, if only to supervise.  LOL  Like I said, I was feeling a bit down....and then God.....If any of you have been reading for a while, you know how much the song "I Can Only Imagine" played a part in God's comfort for me after her death.  And wouldn't you know it....that is exactly the song that came on the radio as we drove to the nursery!  Is God amazing?  Is God loving?  Is God involved?  YOU BET!!

Lord, we know our loved ones are with You...but that doesn't stop us from missing them.  Thank You for the comfort You send and the hope we have of reuniting with them one day.
