My mother died on July 25, she had lung cancer and brain cancer. I miss her so much. I can't call her, I can't hug her, I can't see her...... I know she is no longer suffering from the disease that killed her, I know she rests in the Father's arms. I guess I also know that I too can rest in the Father's arms and feel the comfort and strength that only He can give.

Just this week a couple from my church lost their baby girl. She would have been a year old on Friday, but she died on Thursday. After many surgeries to repair her heart, this recent surgery was just to much for her. Or was it? God is the giver of life and He knows when each and every life will end. He is in control of all things, so I would have to say the surgery was not to much, it was enough. God called her home at that moment, just like He did my mother. He was not early and He was not late. I believe this with my whole heart, I cannot grasp the full meaning of it all, but I know He will carry all of us through this time of sadness and sorrow. During the grieving process if we allow God to be the center and our strength we will draw closer to Him and that's not a bad thing!

Did any of this make sense?? One has to wonder!
