The message...
My mother passed away about seven years ago.
When we moved, a few years after her death, I found a little booklet among my things. The One-Minute pocket Bible for Women. Inside, in her handwriting, the following message:
To: Dear A.
The blessings of the Lord Jesus for you!
May the Word encourage you when you're down
- assure you of God's love when you feel isolated & lonely
- give you strength when you're tired
- the neccessary information & words when you have to speak
- lead you when you don't know which way to go
- give you wisdom when you have to make descisions
- be there for you when you need a friend
& grant you total & complete healing from this moment,
until Jesus comes...
With all the love that I am capable of.
Mom.

Train a child in the way he should grow, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6
That Proverb has been my support through 5 years of children's evangelism.
My mother died when I was young. My maternal grandmother was my Godly influence. She died when I was 18, yet she is still here beside me now in word and deed. Her life was my example. She was a true and loving servant of our Lord -- as, I can tell, was your mother.
Charlene, thank you for sharing & commenting on this post. In unguarded moments it's as if she is still with me. She passed away, Monday the 19th June, 7 years ago.
Appreciate you acknowledging her deep relationship with the Lord.
God bless!
