Yes, that's my mom.
I visited Mom again yesterday. My visits are short but always worth the round trip. She knew me, winked and told me, “I’m glad to see you.” We sat for a while holding hands. She gazed out the window, and then promptly nodded off. Oh, to fall asleep as easily and peacefully! I pray for my mom many times a day, but she may be the last person on the planet needing prayers. She has always been one of God’s blessed and that is still apparent at the twilight of her life.
While I was visiting, a friend of Mom’s stopped by to say hi and leave the church bulletin. Mom waved but didn’t pick up the bulletin, which she really doesn’t need any more. The church service is in her heart and she just smiles, waves and winks the message out to those fortunate enough to be in her spiritual aura.
I am grateful for all the church friends who stop by to see Mom. She may not remember that they came but their presence sends God’s love whirling around the facility where she lives; and then the visitors take that love out into their worlds, and on it goes. It even finds it’s way to me and I do my best to share it with people in my area. What comes around, goes around, so the saying goes.
