God's Tears

Uploaded: January 21, 2009

Description

This is the anniversary of the day we buried my mom in this cemetery. The cemetery is beautiful, and I always feel like I'm on sacred ground when I'm there. So many stories. So many lives lost in service to our country, either directly, or like my mom, in living a life supporting a military officer who served his country. I miss her so much.

My dearest friend, what a beautiful image you have posted in dedication to your mother. Know this that you and I share faith that rest on a day where we will be reunited with the ones we love. I am sure your mother is proud of the person you have become.

Sandy,
John 14: 1-4; 1 Cor. 15:51-58, esp. v.52 for you.:) I know you know it but we do indeed have hope beyond this world and yet we greive those temporarily lost to us. We have a triangle shaped flag in our home and the loss was indeed great.
Grace to you!
