When I think of the goodness of Jesus and All He Has done for me. My soul cries out Hallelujah, Thank God for Saving Me.
I have sung a lot of songs.. song lyrics are often my food. However, these words express my heart again today.
Thirty-five some years ago, I walked down the aisle and married the love of my life. Not known to me, I had walked away from one of the persons who loved me almost beyond words...my Mother.
My Mother hid her disappointment of my leaving from me. It was not until many years later I have heard stories of her sorrow from her sister Lena. My Mother being the behind-every-cloud-is-a-silver-lining mother that she is never laid her grief upon my shoulders.
My Mother embraced a new hope. Without fail, when we would speak on the phone,.catching up on our lives; she would keep me up to date on status of the new inventions. A telephone where one could converse and see the loved one at the same time.
Sad to say, my mother has never used that invention. She does have a camera attached to her computer ..silently waiting dsl. The closest we were ever to come to her relational stance of hope was the cell phone which received and displayed pictures. Today she is in and out of everyday awareness as she struggles with dementia.
Although the dream cannot be experienced by my 81-year-old mother, Gary and I will see and experience the technology today.
Today will be Seinnalee's 2nd birthday party. We will be there electronically.
We will feel relationally present. Today I will emotionally feel my Mother's dream.
There is a silver lining to every Cloud.
We have tears of Joy.
