Bittersweet Christmas

[KBKMNN]

I posted about a month ago that my mom had passed away the week before Christmas and that we had been planning on seeing them. I want to thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement. I would also like to share with you about her funeral. The immediate family had a graveside service in the morning and in the afternoon, we had a 'celebration memorial'. The theme used was It's not about us, It's all about Him. The pastor preached a sermom on salvation and not about my mom, which is how we and she wanted it. Well, let me tell you that 5 people were saved at my mom's memorial! :yeah
I think that was the best part of the whole thing, as sad as I was, I knew just how important that was. And I know my mom was in heaven rejoicing as well.
Again, thank you for your prayers. God bless.

:hug Praise to Jesus Christ for those five souls:yeah! What a wonderful thing to do in the midst of your grief:hug. I believe the Lord probably told your Mom what happened. I :pray you are coping with your grief, and that the Lord is giving you His peace at this time:hug! I was just thinking about my Mom and my Aunt who passed away 13 and 15 years ago respectively, before Christmastime. Both are saved, and I STILL miss them both so much. The rapture cannot come too soon for me. God bless you!
