Life as a grieving parent,spouse, child, friend is diffficult. We, I, especially am the worst about wanting to go through every hypothetical situation that could've been so I wouldn't have lost my sweet Jacob. He'd still be in my arms now. However, that's not what my sweet Jesus teaches me, as a christian mommy in the book of John, Chapter 11. John, Chapter 11 teaches that even when you feel the Lord is late, he's on time. Mary and Martha called upon the Lord when Lazarus,their brother, first became ill. Jesus was in a town a couple of miles away and did not immediately go to them when they called him. Instead, he finished his business in town,a nd went two days later. Lazarus had passed away; Mary and Martha couldn't understand why they called upon Jesus and he didn't come right away. Jesus loved Lazarus. I relate to them completely. In the hospital almost five years ago - I called and called upon the Lord to touch myself and Jacob, to work ...

ReplyDeleteWe have two beautiful pinwheels at Caleb's grave. I love to just sit there and watch them spin in the wind. Caleb's grave is underneath a big, beautiful dogwood tree. The day of his funeral, the dogwood blooms were falling and it looked like snow. The ground was covered in the petals. It was such a peaceful sight!! God sends gifts in some of the most incredible ways, doesn't he??
Big, big hugs!!

Chirleen, I love it when I go to visit Jake and all is calm, and I when I get out of the car and all of the sudden his pinwheel starts blowing... like he knows we are there. <3
