MY SUMMER OF SORROW

2008.08.08
pixel
On August 2nd my mom went home to be with the Lord. She had lung cancer for 3 years.she was a wonderful mother, and person. On friday my dad called and said I should get there as soon as possible, so my husband and I was on a plane within an hour of that call! We arrived in N.J a little after midnight! Went directly to my Dads. Arrived at his house at 1:30 a.m. Nothing could have prepared me for the shock of seeing my Mom in the condition she was in. She couldn't move, her eyes were closed, so I held her hand and just told her I loved her a million times and kissed her hand and head! Every time I talked she would gasp! My Dad said she was recognizing my voice and was getting excited. That morning at around 5 a.m she was in the presence of Jesus! My Family said she was waiting for me to come before she left. it was by far the saddest day of my life, but I know she is no longer in pain! I will miss her dearly!!!

ONE DAY
by J Wilbur Chapman
& Charles H Marsh

Verse 1
One day when heaven was filled with His praises,
One day when sin was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin,
Dwelt among men; my example is He!

Chorus:
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried my sings far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever;
One day He's coming, O glorious day!

Verse 2
One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain,
One day they nailed Him to die on the tree,
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected,
Bearing our sins; my Redeemer is He!

Chorus:

Verse 3
One day they left Him alone in the garden,
One day He rested, from suffering free;
Angels came down o'er His tomb to keep vigil;
Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He!

Chorus:

Verse 4
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,
One day the stone rolled away from the door;
Then He arose, over death He had conquered;
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore!

Chorus:

Verse 5
One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,
One day the skies with His glory will shine;
Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing;
Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

This was My Moms favorite Hymn

jodycmoore Although some go before us, we'll all meet again, inside the city, where love knows no end, there be no more parting, with Jesus we'll be, together forever...Gods family.
I cried when I read this, and I am sorry your loss. but, we have an eternal hope through Jesus Christ our Lord, of seeing our loved ones again!!! Praise God.

ScubaLiz Mindy - I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. She must have been a terrific lady. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

cobaltbutterfly So sorry. You have the wonderful assurance that she is in a better place, however, she left a void here on earth that no one else will ever fill. I'm so sorry for you and my prayers are with you. P

TheCrazyCroat Mindy, I'm so so very sorry for you loss. This was a beautiful tribute to your Mom. I lost my Dad in Jan, and kindof know how you feel. I'm thinking about you and will keep you and your family in my prayers.
