Tommorow

Yesterday has past with it's trials and cares. I was there and felt the pain in my body and my mind whirled with concern about the future. I saw the faces of my growing children stressed, but the sparkle in their eyes radiated determination and hope. I love them so. We are one less, but we still believe that one day she will return to us and be in our everyday life.

My motherly thoughts still race over the heads of my children when I bring them to mind.
I want to prepare them for the big world. I want them to succeed and to be able to provide for themselves. I know that God loves them more than I, but it is up to me to carefully build them
up into strong and balanced happy individuals. What makes a child happy? I can only look back at my childhood and days of my youth. The simple things come to mind. Warm food, a hug, a listening ear. I would turn to my parents in time of need and be grateful when they were able to help me. Sometimes rescuing me from running out of gas, sometimes lending money, sometimes taking time to just be present.

I am adjusting to this new stage when all of mine will be running out the door to catch up with their lives in the big world. I pray for them now, that their choices and steps will lead them to the hope of all hopes and the peace of all peace. Run to Jesus as fast as you can. It is in his heart that wholeness and happiness rests and waits for you, dear children.

I don't expect you to share in all the wisdom that your father and I have come to own.  God has prepared a personal wisdom that will meet up with ours and wisdom that will surpass anything we have ever understood to be true.

Tomorrow I hope to see you living your lives in peace and happiness. I love you, dear children, with my whole heart, and believe that the gift of your lives has caused me to grow and have a life that has been rich in grace, love and happiness! Each of you are so good and I marvel at your giftedness and hearts that are so beautiful and filled with  the love of God, that in turn reaches your siblings and we, your parents.  Tomorrow is not ours, but we can all be assured that when it comes, LOVE will be what make our dreams and hopes come true for tomorrows tomorrow, spilling into eternity!
