Some 9 months later, our mother succumbed to cancer as did yours. And I couldn’t agree more when you mention the precious gift of the Holy Spirit coming to let us know that the time had come for her to journey home to Christ.

My mother passed away a few years ago after a 30 year bout with cancer. There is something to be said about “knowing.” She knew when she was going home and asked my aunt to stay after a particular vist. A very odd request, but my mother knew it was time.

They called me. I was working in Alaska. I raced down to Texas. In a rented car I was 30 minutes shy of reaching mom. I did not want her to suffer, she was holding on to see me. I remember praying, “Lord I do not want my mom to suffer.” I know she loves me and I her.”

A minute later my cell phone ringed, she had just passed away. Yet, somehow in the economy of God, mother and I had touched souls.

Knowing, this precious gift when the Holy Spirit comes upon us and we know what is right at the critical last minute, be it healing, or be it time to journey home to Christ!

Glad you like the new look – think I’m through tinkering with it for a while. It’s always good to hear from you.

… and WHOA! New look! I like it!
