Today is the 8th anniversary of my mother’s passing. I am full of memories, from all the years we had together on this blessed earth. We shall meet again. Love endures.
PSALM 131: 1-2 (KJV)
Lord, my heart is not haughty,
nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I
exercise myself in great matters,
or in things too high for me.
Surely I have behaved and quieted
myself, as a child that is weaned of
his mother: my soul is even as a
weaned child.

My mom is in Heaven. During the caregiving years, our friendship grew in a new way: my mother in her 80s and me in my 40s. Many have similar stories…
By God’s grace, following her passing in 2004, a new chapter has grown and is growing. It is different and beautiful in its own way.
Mom loved the King James Version of the Bible.
The following seems to fit with this Post.
LORD, my heart is not haughty,
nor mine eyes lofty:
neither do I exercise myself in great matters,
or in things too high for me.
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself,
as a child that is weaned of his mother:
my soul is even as a weaned child.
Psalm 131: 1-2 (KJV)

First real snow
last night
My heart lifts
January light.

And now
abideth
faith,
hope,
charity,
these three;
but the greatest
of these
is charity.
