I miss my Mom. I miss being asked, "How do you do it?" She was always so amazed at all that I could accomplish in one day...and really, it wasn't much. But that one question made me want to do more.
In my Mom's eyes, I could do no wrong. And when I did do wrong, she loved me anyway. And knowing she was loving me that way, made me want to be better.
I was a better person because of her. So, lately, in my grief, I'm wondering who looks at me like she used to....how can I still strive to be a better person without her love.
But, then it came to me...she was living as an extension of God and He still loves me and looks at me like that so I can be the person I was created to be. That's all she ever wanted...for me to be the best ME that I could be. And God created ME!! She was following the instruction found in Proverbs 22. She was teaching me to love as God loves. So, I shouldn't depart from trying to be better. I should always strive to be what God has created me to be.
"Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Pr 22:6)
I love you, Mom and I love You, Lord.
