GOD IS GOOD+

My mother had an angelic voice.

Whether she was reading or singing us to sleep, her voice wrapped around us like one of her fluffy homemade blankets.

I can still hear her voice.

It echoes in my mind.

The calmness of her tones, I can still recall, as I drifted off to sleep. It was so comforting. Her love for us permeated every move she made. Whether getting up early to cook a meal, clean the house, help us with homework, cart us to a dance rehearsal, sporting event or Church function, she came to every task with enthusiasm pouring so much love into every task. She loved us so very much, and loved being a wife and mother.

 My Mother was

my mentor and

my confidant.

When I married and began raising my family, and she began my very best friend.

I was never more in awe of her gifts, when she volunteered to stand along side of be and minister music with me for she relished working behind the scenes..

For thirty (30) years, she stood on my right side, and blended beautifully. She continued to minister music up until eight (8) months before she passed. Then felt she should sit in the pew with her great grand-daughters and great son in law. This opened the door for my beautiful daughter rejoin the ensemble, and the took her place right next to me with her beautiful voice.

I am in awe at how life keeps coming full circle, and how blest I have been, in spite of the losses.

The Lord continues to mix in beautiful blessings, and I am so very grateful He has helped me not lose sight of them, when they come along.

God is so, so, very good, and I pray I will continue to be open to His Direction and His Guidance, being open to His Love. For without it, I could not go another step in this journey, I call my life.

Many prayers I raise up for all who asked me to prayer for them. Lord, You hear and know, all my family and friend’s needs. I ask you to please hear their cries for help. Please fill their needs, and everyone who calls out for your help this day and every day until the end of time.

May we, all, forever sing Your Praise through our last breath as we join Your Holy Angels and Saints in Heaven with Your Blessing! Forever and Ever Amen+

I heard Francesca Battistelli’s song “God Is Good”, and found her words outlined my life so closely, I felt I could have written them.

When we think about God, He is already there with us!

He is the God of Love, and He is Good.

Look for Him it’s not hard to find the Creator of all things that are Good, and all things that stay in the Presence of the Giver of Life.
