Blessings…

Today is the 18th anniversary of my mother’s passing. Its also my son Justin’s 22nd and my nephew Jacob’s 16th birthday.

I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss my mother. After all this time, I still want to share things with her. I wish I could lay my head in her lap and let her run her hand over my hair like she did when I was a child.

However, after all I’ve been through the last few months, I would like to make an observation: God will allow us to go through trying times. He never said life would be perfect.

But if you are willing to look around yourself, God has proven he will bless you twice as often as you are burdened. I’ve lost my mother. But over the years, I have been blessed with my son and nephew. And though these blessings do not erase the sorrow, they somehow ease the pain.

I’ve lost Corey now. He lies beside my mom. I believe that I will again be blessed… I just have to be patient and keep my eyes open.
