Welcome, I’m Libby
Thank you for visiting my blog. I live in Plano, Texas where my husband and I are very involved in being happy senior adults. You will find that my blog reflects our lives and activities as well as the goings-on of our two grown children and ten grandchildren. There may even be something the Lord leads me to compose and share. Needless to say, we stay busy and sharing our busyness with you makes me happy. I do hope you will stop by and share a cup of tea with me often.

I have to tell you with the death of my mom so recent I began crying from the very beginning of this letter until the very end. Do I ever know how you feel. There is no one quite like your mom who gets you, who loves you unconditionally, who will pray for you and with you, who listens with eager ears to everything you have or want to say. Who when you are in those darkest hours walks along beside you because "that's what families do". I am happy for you that you do have the Lord to lean on and that you found that note from your mom this morning in your bible. How it must have touched and warmed your heart. A little hug from her and God. I love this. And I thank you for sharing this with us. Blessings to you today! Debbie
ReplyDeletebtw, not silly at all for a 69 year old to still need her mom, this 58 year old over here sooo does too!
Oh, Libby, I do hope everything is alright. Oh, I so get it about always needing our Moms. I cannot tell you how many times I have longed to hear the powerful words of wisdom come from my Moms mouth when I was going through a tough time. I always felt better after sharing with her. And, I miss her prayers so much. I know that there was not a day that she did not lift me to the Lord.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you right now and praying HIs peace and comfort will see you through this valley.
Love and hugs!
I completely get it, Libby, if that helps, at all.My mom died in 2000 and I think I miss her now more than ever before. Maybe it's because I'm raising a 16 year old and I so often need her advice. I long to feel her hugs and hear her words of wisdom. I know she's still right here with me...and I will see her, again, one day. What a happy reunion that will be. Hugs, my friend!
ReplyDeleteOh, Libby. Beautiful is an understatement. I am not their mother but that cavernous emptiness is how I felt - how I feel - having "lost" the girls. How my heart aches is nothing compared to David's - it never will be. But those same questions cross my mind still... Does any of it matter if there's nothing we can do about it? How do we move on without seeming indifferent or callous? Why won't God fix it and why is he allowing what he has, so specifically? We love them through our hurt and pray that one day God will restore them to us. I have realized that is all we can do. I'm not sure what you are enduring right now, Libby, but I will pray that God will wrap his arms around you and fill you with his love and peace and provide you with direction. Thank you for sharing this part of you with us - it is an encouragement to see your heart reach out to your mom and to God.
