Vanity - prayers for my late mother
Vanity | Friday Dec 3, 2004 | Self

Posted on 12/03/2004 10:54:47 PM PST by Marauder

Cancer claimed her tonight at the tender age of 84. I was scheduled to leave home to drive to be at her bedside when she passed. But I cancelled some appointments and was packing to go when my brother called and said to take my time.

The sweet little lady's been my mom for 62 years, so it's hard to see her go, even though it was a peaceful and painless passing for her. But I know she's in a better place now.


TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: cancer; freepersloss; mourning; octogenarian; prayers

Somewhere your mother is young again, and she is in the arms of the love of her life. But in that moment, she is thinking on her child, and waiting for the when you will come home...

God is gracious, that we are given such as these to keep the world wrapped in love. May we ever have them here on earth, and there in heaven!

I'm sorry for your loss - my mom passed a few years ago and i miss her very much - my solace is knowing she no longer is in pain and will be waiting for me when i too pass. Your mother also is no longer in pain. I'd like to think my mom is watching over me, as your mother will watch over you. I'll say a prayer for your family.

How heartbreaking for you when she has been your second mom. My deepest sympathies to you.

But take comfort in your knowledge that the Lord left her with you so many years and now called her to be with Him in His time.

Prayers of peace to all of you.

Heavenly Father, how thankful we are for the life of this beloved mother ... her kind and gentle nature, the sweetness of her years ... may the legacy of her life reach into many succeeding generations. Comfort Marauder and his family in these difficult days, yet this pain and sorrow will give way to the joy that awaits. Blessed be Your Name forever, Amen ...

I pray this will comfort you and yours:

NAsbU 1 Thessalonians 4:13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

His willing bondslave

So sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my dear Mom a couple of years ago at age 95. I was planning a trip to go see her when she passed suddenly and although it was doubly sad as I was not by her side, I was very grateful that the Lord took her to His Presence quickly and without suffering.

May the Peace and the Comfort of the Lord fill your heart in Jesus Precious Name Amen!
