One Perfect God

 
 
Today is a hard day for me.  Thirteen years ago today, my mama went to be with the Lord.  She suffered greatly with the cancer that eventually ended her life.  She struggled with the anxiety of dieing and leaving her family here on earth.  She struggled with feelings of why me, etc.
 
I was thankful for her to have peace in Jesus and knowing that Heaven was such a great reward when her suffering ended.  I just didn't know how much mine would increase. 
 
I miss her as much today as I did that day 13 years ago.  She was my best friend.  She really did know all the ins and outs of me.  We had our share of disagreements, but in the end and to the core, we loved each other.  She was always there for me....every minute of every day.  Whenever, whatever, no questions asked.  Unconditionally.
 
That is how my God loves me.  I often forget this.  I want to earn it, to be worthy of it, to accept it.  It is a free gift.  It is what it is.  It is how I love my four children, it is how my mom loved me.  I am not perfect, my God IS perfection.  Because he loves me, accepts me, holds and comforts me, I am able to accomplish great things. I am able to enjoy life. I am able to get through the hardest of days when I miss my loved one's presence on this Earth.  It is because of his perfection, I have the promise of seeing them again someday.
 
 
Do you know God's love for you?  If you do not or are feeling overwhelmed with your own struggles, leave a comment on this post.  I will pray for you. I will pray for your needs, your struggles, your heartaches, and for peace for you. 
 
My One Perfect God can heal your heart and your situation. 
 
In Christian Love.....Penny

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
