My precious momma lay in her hospital bed suffering hallucinations, stage four kidney failure, and having survived five surgeries in the last 6 weeks giving God thanks.
In a rare moment of clear thinking and the moment she saw my sister in video call she said these words to her.
“Anita there’s angels all around us at all times. They never leave us. They brush the hair out of our eyes and we think it’s the wind. It’s not. It’s our angels. They’re right with us.”
Then she sang her these lyrics in song that she just wrote instantly at random…
“You are the angels of my life.
You are the one that I hold dear.
If I could hold you in my arms.
I’d hold you for a thousand years.”
She saw me and said, keep looking for the Lord, Jennifer. He’s coming for you.
I wept. I smiled. I was awestruck as she just went right back to mumbling as if she hadn’t had a moment of lucidity. Before my eyes was the most amazingly frail woman with the most beautiful grace I had ever seen.
We question our Maker in the middle of our stories, when life is weighing us down we ponder, How could this suffering could bring Him glory? What I was beholding was the totality of a life surrendered. I’ve never been more honored and humbled that at that moment on that video call with my sweet Momma. She said to me before my sister in law ended the call that she wanted to fulfill the Lord’s purpose for her. She wasn’t hopeless, angry or weary. She wanted His will, she communicated it clearly. I pray you see the Lord revealed in these private family moments. I pray your trust in the Lord remains secure through all your have to endure. His words are like candy, Jennifer
