Tomorrow is Soon Enough

It is 2pm and I have not gotten out of my pajamas. The past week has been an emotional one for me. The day after Easter I lost my son. This year my daughter-in-love lost her beloved grandpa the day after Easter. Her mom said they both had a resurrection. I like that. Knowing they both took their last breath on earth leaves me missing them but the gift of their relationship with Jesus makes us aware that they are in His presence. I am sad for me but joyful for them.

Ron and I took a long drive after church Sunday. The testimonies and service overwhelmed me with hope for the future. I am grateful for the time I have with family and friends. The time I have with my Mom is something I cherish. Her doctor  placed her on Hospice a couple weeks ago and what mixed feelings I have about that. The people who are supporting us to keep her comfortably at home is a gift but even the word Hospice makes me losing her feel so impending.

Today I am in Arizona waiting to see my grandgirl and enjoying the quiet at my sister-in-love’s home. Just me and my thoughts, too many cups of coffee and stillness. It is probably time to get up and shower but I am so enjoying the lack of doing this day has been. Tomorrow will be time to visit and accomplish a list of tasks. Then Friday I am down at my Mom’s to enjoy her presence and start tackling the ridding out of her home. We spend a lifetime collecting our treasures and then with tears and emotions we need to share these things with those who love us or donate them to those who need them. This is the day that the Lord has made for me to rest, reflect and breath Him in. I need to be okay with being nonproductive while treating myself to some much needed down time. My prayer is that each of you take the time off that you need when you need it. I know I am.

In Him,
Joyful
