My mother has been fighting hard to battle Rheumatoid arthritus for the last 9 plus years. She is in a nursing home and she is receiving fantastic care, but she grows weaker as time goes on. She is bed ridden as of 1-1/2 weeks ago. All 9 children wish to keep here with us for a much longer time, but how selfish are we to want that for her ? To want her to stay with us , while in daily constant pain raher than to want her to be able to be free of her daly pain and to walk in peace, hand in hand with God Almighty. Dad went home to the Lord 6 years ago. Soon mom will met up with him again. Asking for simple prayers for understanding, peace and contentment in Gods plans for my 5 brothers and 3 sisters. No one knows how much time is left, but we know her time is near the end. Yesterday, mom told my sister what clothes she wants to wear when she passes. She has made peace with her fate , but is more anxious every day. God is good always. He gave me a very beautiful grandson two weeks ago today. When I look into his innocent eyes, I am reminded of the cycle of life God has laid out for us.
