One Year

I can't believe it has been one year since we found out mom had cancer. She moved to WR to come live with us and to receive her treatments here. As I read through my older post, I think of the journey mom has walked; with her family along side of her. Even though this is not a road that one would like to travel, mom has found a way to walk it in Christ Jesus.


Mom found love in a time of feeling unloved.

Mom found hope in a time of despair.

Mom found acceptance in a time of not understanding.

Mom found comfort in a time of uneasiness.

Mom found peace in a a time of pain.

Mom found strength in a time of weakness.

Mom found courage in a time of fear.

Mom found restoration in a time of bleakness.

Mom found faith in a time of need.

Mom found Jesus!





Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,

He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
