Just wanted to let you know that this morning at 7:45am my sweet Mama went home to her Jesus. She had an extremely hard night, and after lots of struggle her body became extremely peaceful about an hour before she passed. Her breathing became very shallow, but with each breath she kept saying "home". Dad, Emmy & I were there, holding her hand as she took her last breath. It was beautiful and peaceful and full of hope. We are deeply sad, and hurting so much. But more than that, we are so thankful & relieved that Jesus--our Prince of Peace--finally came to rescue Mom and carry her to her true home. We have peace in the midst of this--we have so much joy knowing she is eternally healed, and with her Maker. We will see her again soon, and that will be a glorious day. It is well with our souls....
Covering your family in prayer.
ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteI just read your post about your sweet Mom. So hard and yet we are thankful for God's peace and love and grace to cover and fill us and the amazing hope of Heaven.
Praying for you and your family.
Love and hugs and prayers,
Debi
I'm in tears, Rachel, and praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry for your hurt. I'm so glad for her glorification. May His grace carry you through as you live in that paradox.
ReplyDeleteI have been praying for your mother all week, and your dad, Emily and you. Your mother is at peace now, she's with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I lost my mother 8 yrs. ago, and still miss her, but it gives me peace to know that she is at peace and one day, I will see her again, as you too will see your mom. I love you, and always here for you.
