Though words seem unattainable on this Monday morning, my heart continues to overflow with love for all of you and a feeling of thanksgiving for a God who gives Hope to our lives even when life doesn’t make sense.
My cousin’s son has been visiting with us for the past week from Oklahoma. He is a 19 year-old, college student who is majoring in photography and graphic design; and we have been enjoying SO MUCH having him in our home.
We’ve had a list of all the things we wanted to do and places we wanted to go while he was here, and it’s been fun to check things off the list day by day. Tomorrow, I take him back to my mom’s house and then Thursday I have to tell him good-bye, probably not seeing him again for at least a year.
I can’t help but think of Heaven in an extra-powerful way at times like this-
And how great it will be to never have to say good bye or make a list of things we want to do in short amounts of time with friends and family.
Heaven-
Freedom from to-do lists
Never-ending hellos
No more goodbyes
So, today, I say “Hello Monday,” and embrace it for all it has to offer – trusting that one day I will say “Hello” to Monday and never have to say good bye.
Praying your Monday is filled with reasons to smile,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
