If I had a picture for this upper corner, it would be of me sitting on the side of a bed in a nursing home with a Bible in my lap opened to the Psalms and reading to Mama as she rests peacefully. Her eyes are closed, her face peaceful; she is still. Only the slight rise and fall of her chest makes me know she is living and the look on her face that reflects an inner peace that has finally set in because, unknown to me, she is going home that Sunday afternoon. Her work on earth is done, and she has heard the spirit of the Father say, "Well done." Mama loved the Psalms.
As I sit on my morning off with the Bible on the couch beside me and the laptop in my lap, I open to the Psalms as a source of comfort and encouragement, believing in the promises of peace they profess, and holding a personal track record that has proven the promises true, over and over. Right now, my thoughts are for Pat and Frank. I send them love and peace and write these words from Psalms knowing that peace is possible and love heals when nothing else can. "Hear oh, Lord, and be gracious to me! O, Lord, be my helper! You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, so that my soul may praise you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever." Psalms:30:10-12.
Peace. Love, Linda
