My sweet Mom went to her heavenly home yesterday. She had been moved to hospice care this past week, and they took wonderful care of her there.
God allowed me to be there for her last breath, which feels like holy ground. It was peaceful and beautiful, and I am so happy that she is now with Jesus.
She was surrounded by so many loved ones this week. We prayed with her, sang with her, and shared wonderful stories together. I'm so blessed to have my siblings and nieces and nephews in my life. They are such special people. We talk and laugh so much that I'm sure they thought we were having a party in Mom's hospice room.
The days ahead will have many challenges and blessings. No doubt it will be exhausting.
Thank you, God, for our sweet Mom, Ruth. She was such a blessing to everyone who knew her, and now she joins her Savior and all the saints in heaven.
For all the saints, who from their labors rest, all who by faith before the world confessed, your name, O Jesus, be forever blest, Alleluia!
So sorry for your loss, but knowing she is at HOME and at peace with Jesus will bring great comfort to you. Embrace the laughter and tears that you'll be experiencing with your family this week and in the weeks to come. This a time in your life like no other---everything stops---and you get to rest in Him! God bless.
