So it's Mother's Day. Today is the day that marks 3 years of mother's days without my mom. I have found this one to be one of the hardest. The past 2 years, we have been with Kelly's mom, so I have had a "busy mind" and I guess I haven't thought this much about just my mom. This weekend we stayed in town, so I have had a lot of time to think today. My sister called me after church and said their closing hymn was "sweet sweet spirit". She had made it through the service holding back tears, but lost it during the hymn. Knowing the song is to describe Jesus, I can't help but think of how much my mom loved Jesus. She had such a calm and reassuring presence. She could rest knowing that God loved her more than we can imagine and that His will for her was greater than she, or anyone could know. Knowing all of these great things, there is still a void. There is still hurt. For some reason, today, I have thought a lot about those things you say...
