It’s hard to believe Mel would be 15 today…and joining our youth group! This morning as I was in the kitchen, the sun actually came out…after days of rain and clouds! Then as I was making lunches and breakfast, I heard from the CD that was playing….”Gone”…it was like a little reminder from Mel, that even though she is gone from us here, it is SO exciting to me to know that I will get to see her again….”Gone, the stone is rolled back, Gone, the tomb is empty, Gone, to sit at the Father’s side, Gone, over death triumphant, Gone, sin is defeated, Gone, and He lives forevermore!”
There is probably nothing more precious to the heart of a parent who has lost a child, than to know that they will get to see their child again…..I know from my conversations with Mel, that she had made things right where they needed to be made right, and that she was attempting to live in a way that she would not have to look back with any regrets…her faith in Jesus continues to encourage my heart to be faithful so I can not only see her again, but the One that made it possible for us to live again together~ FOREVER!
I want to go get some balloons to put on the gravesite….I think I’ll try to find them in her favorite colors, lime green, orange and pink.
Live today like it may be your last~ Love, Lori
