It has been a great day for a day that is generally a hard day. Mother’s day has some heart wrenching memories attached to it so typically it’s not a day that is a “feel good” day for me.
Today I went to church with our oldest and his family. The men of the congregation prepared breakfast and cleaned up for the mom’s of the church family. That was lovely.
Then I had a little time to take a ride on my motorcycle but wanted to stay close. I hadn’t ever been to the Lexington Cemetery so I decided to go there when I looked and saw that it had a pond. I felt that today it was fitting to go to a cemetery for what I’m feeling feels like death. So it was very therapeutic. Because as I sit there and others are there visiting their loved ones, the death that I feel is not literal.
At church this morning, Chris spoke on 1 Sam 1:13-16 and discussed Hannah and the fact that she stayed strong in the Lord even during the hard times. And how He in turn gave her Samuel.
I’m looking at the water, watching the geese and their babies, I have my hear phones on and singing out loud songs praising the Lord, I realize that the pain the I started out the trip feeling had past to praise for what He has given me. That is a step forward. I’m grateful that He drew me to a place that is centered around death so that I would be brought into focus the life I have.
He is amazing. Thank you my most gracious Father.!
