| Mum and I during the iMPACT Nadi trip, Oct 2011 |
She has been my inspiration
Strong, stubborn and full of life.
She turned 73 last week and
spent most of her week participating in the Bowling Carnival.
When the sun set on Friday she still hadn't come home.
We returned from Vespers and were a little late with
preparations for Visitor's Sabbath but she was already in
bed.
On Sabbath morning she left again.
I experienced such intense emotions with her departure wishing instead she
could be my visitor sharing my gratitude for her 73years of life.
For many in my immediate family it would be hard to understand my emotions.
And I can understand that. They would see this time out as refreshing, feeding her need for
company, for fun, for life as they would call it.
Tonight I discover that she is fighting an internal battle with how unfair life is.
And here I was thinking, she was coping. She had spent three months away in Australia and if
she could she would stay away more. Being here at home, she sees the physical changes to my
body, she witnesses me succumb to a bad bout of the flu and other things which I am not aware of.
I must request prayers for my dear Mother who needs to build her trust in God's leading and to accept
the answer He gives to our prayers.
