Life and Death

Posted by pet | Life | Tuesday 28 February 2006 5:47 pm

I am very thankful for Christ’s saving grace in my life.

The phone rang late this morning.
It was the hospital emergency room notifying me that my mother had been unable to be awakened by her daily caregiver, and had been transported to the ER.

That she was not responsive.
Did I want heroic measures.. no .. she did not want that ever.
Mother and I had discussed this ad nauseam when Kat was dying.
NONONONO lifesaving measures.
No she did not want that.
Was I sure.

I thought that I was emotionally ready to accept my mothers death, I find I was wrong.
My mother is a theist.
I am a Christian, at her direct request I quit talking about the grace and love of God, The Gospel she simply would not hear. I have prayed for her daily since I became a Christian many years ago.

I know that God is always faithful, and I know that God loves us immeasurably.
Today is a day I simply have to rest in the Word, because I am quite unable to do anything else.
