today OT (religious content)

[Guest guest]

Today is the one year anniversary of my mother's death. I had driven down

the previous Feb to say my goodbyes. She lived in east TX. I live in

Northern Idaho. She was in a nursing home and had dementia. TWo weeks later

my step-father removed her from the home and hospice come in. She lived

almost a year longer. They had not expected her to live even a month when I

saw her. I was unable to attend her memorial service. I told my family I

wouldn't be able to come. I had chosen to see her two days while alive then

wait until she died.

Today, there are a number of posts on my FB page in regards to her. I just

saw a picture of my oldest son with her. I almost started crying. I had been

handling everything pretty well as I was used to not seeing her often. I did

call a lot but most times she would only cry on the phone. She was so sick.

I know she is resting now. I also know she was right with God when she died.

I made sure of that when I was there.

It was such an awesome time. She had been incoherent during my whole visit

mainly. Then, for a few minutes, we were alone. All of a sudden, her mind

cleared. I asked her if she knew Jesus loved her and had died for her sins.

She said she knew that and loved Him. I then prayed with her. A few minutes

later, she was back to not knowing anything. It broke my heart, but I knew

she was ok spiritually.

I know when Christ comes soon, she will arise up and join us in the sky to

go home. That is the blessed home as says.

Just wanted to share with some friends.
