Thanks for your kind words. I am learning that words of encouragement take on a new significance in seasons of grief. I appreciate every syllable!

Blessings,

I know the feeling of suddenly becoming a grown-up orphan. We know it’s coming, in the natural order of things, but still when it happens, we’re shocked.

I’m very, very sure that your mother was and still is exceedingly proud of you, grateful to God for allowing her to be your mother. I’m sure she beseeches God daily on your behalf, to give you courage and strength and your most formidable tool of all, your good humor.

May God continue to bless and comfort you, and please know that your friends at Plymouth Park still pray for you, and cherish our memories of good times spent under your leadership.

Your words in print describe the very words Steve has expressed since his mother’s death a year and half ago. Your mother lives on in your heart and actions. She must have spoken these words at one time: “For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him.” 1 Samuel 1:27

May God’s words bring you comfort,
Celia

Take Care.
