For My Secret Sister & All Other Concerned Citizens
by Gail
I have been feeling a bit blue lately. I think I am having a delayed reaction to my mother’s death. That is why I haven’t felt up to blogging. Spring is almost here, though. I think. One day it will be seventy degrees and the next it is in the fifties. I would like to think we are past any danger of snow. At least I hope we are.
If you could keep me in your prayers, I would really appreciate it. This has been a very long and difficult year for me. It has put a strain on all of my relationships and I am having to focus my attentions on repairing the damage as much as it is within my ability to do so. I am looking to God to supply me with what I don’t have. And I am hoping that the people I love in my life will be willing to meet me half way.
Note to Secret Sister: Thank you so much for remembering me with little surprises at my door each week. Your notes have especially uplifted me during this time. Please do not think that I have forgotten you in my prayers.

Although I may not have told you, your name is in my journal, and when I rise at 6:30 AM MST, your name always comes up. I pray for you daily, friend.
I’ve been missing you. I’ve added you to my prayer list.
I’ll be praying…hang on…
With His Love and care, Javamom
I am sorry that you are going through such a hard time. May you find comfort in God’s word.
“Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:1-2
I am looking to God to supply me with what I don’t have.
You’ve beautifully put into words what we all need! His grace IS sufficient! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Of course you will have some intense reaction, delayed or otherwise, after the death of your mother. Very normal, but sad. Added you to my list. Hang in there and turn your face to the sun, like a little crocus, whenever possible.
God Bless and you are in my prayers.
The Lord understands your pain, and He is “Jehovah Shammah,” the God who is there, with you, in it. Praying for you.
You are not alone.. I have walked in your shoes. I was devastated when my dad died suddenly in 1997 and it also took me awhile to work through it. I was finally able to fill the hole that was in my spirit with loving memories and thankfulness to the Creator for allowing me to have had my dad in my life. Keeping his memory alive by living what he taught me has been the best healer of all.
Finally I came to understand that although he has left me in this physical life, he is always with me in spirit. The love he gave me is a source of joy and memories of the time we spent together in this world are a constant comfort and source of strength for me. I realized that the loss of my dad was a kind of gift to me because I truly then appreciated the time that we spent together in this life. Celebrating those memories with doing good deeds in his name has also helped.
I planted a rose bush for my father and every spring it greets me with beautiful flowers. It celebrates his life and the beauty of the world that the Creator has given to us to enjoy.
The Lord has given you everything you need .. you just haven’t found it yet.. and when you do it will be like finding a marvelous gift. I pray that you find strength and peace. Listen to your heart. The Lord and your Mom are there.
