Good morning and thank you for stopping by!
It has been such a wild journey the last few weeks and I am hoping as I am entering into this beautiful spring season and the upcoming resurrection celebration I will see less wild and more quiet days.
Today my heart and mind is on my precious son who is already in heaven. I have been doing a lot of reading whenever I can snatch the time and mental quiet it takes for me to focus lately. I borrowed a couple books from my local library about parents grieving the loss of a child and one on suicide. I am really enjoying the book : When The Bough Breaks : Forever After The Death of a Son or Daughter by Ph.D Judith R. Bernstein . I think this book is the closest to right on to what I have experienced as a mom after losing my son.
I am also enjoying some other devotionals and continuing with my online Bible studies with Proverbs 31 Ministries and so enjoy the fellowship provided through this ministry.
I was reading Joni and Friends devotional this morning and was so inspired by her words about resurrection . She used this verse and I was so blessed as I thought that my precious boy would be in his resurrected body at the trumpet sound.
What a precious day that will be when not only will I see the finish of what God has promised but I meet with my son and can look at him and talk to him again. I don't know about you but I look forward to heaven . I pray you are ready for the great and glorious day that is coming whether by death or His coming in the clouds with the trumpet sound.
Lord Jesus,
We need you so much . All about us many times is stress and trials and we struggle so. We ask for your mighty hand to hold us and bless us and prepare us for your return. Lord, for any that do not know you and have not received the gift of salvation I pray for them to have their eyes of understanding opened and that they would freely receive your precious life eternal gift. In Jesus I pray amen.

1 Thessalonians 4:14-17
New King James Version (NKJV)
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.[a]
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.What a precious day that will be when not only will I see the finish of what God has promised but I meet with my son and can look at him and talk to him again. I don't know about you but I look forward to heaven . I pray you are ready for the great and glorious day that is coming whether by death or His coming in the clouds with the trumpet sound.
