Last week family and some friends met Taylor and I at St. Vincent's for Mamie's nameplate dedication. Thank you to the women's bible study group for doing this for us. We are so blessed to have so many caring and wonderful people in our lives. The Chaplain from the hospital came and blessed the nameplate after Taylor and I placed it on the wall. We asked Lynette, our bereavement nurse, to read the words to "Glory Baby". It was so special.... We miss our Mamie so much. Here are some pictures that some friends took.
On our way home that night the sun was setting behind the clouds. The sky was beautiful and pink. I decided to get out and take some pictures. I ended up down at the lake in our neighborhood. The water was like glass that night. It was so peaceful... I knew Mamie was there with me. I ended up sitting one the bench for about an hour.
We love you Mamie.

Here are the words to another beautiful song someone sent me by the group Mercy Me.
"Jesus Bring the Rain"
I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that
I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings
You glory And I know there'll
be days When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to
praise You Jesus, bring the rain
I am yours regardless of the clouds that may
loom above because you are much greater than
my pain you who made a way for me suffering
your destiny so tell me whats a little rain
[1st Chorus]
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
is the lord God almighty
is the lord God almighty
I'm forever singing
[2nd Chorus 2x]
everybody singing
Holy holy holy
you are holy
you are holy
- Sarah
Absolutely beautiful Sarah. What a special tribute to Mamie; I am so thankful that you have had such amazing caretakers throughout. Love you and Taylor...give him a big hug for me!
ReplyDeletei guess im just going to be that annoying client that thinks we are best friends. haha.. thats me!!!. but im sure you like hearing the encouragement..so i dont see the need to hold back..
ReplyDeletei really am so impressed with you. you are really finding a way of glorifying God during this horrible horrible time. you have a warm light around you that shines and turns the situation into a peaceful calming secure situation. i am so encouraged by you. you walk so gracefully during all of this. and not many people could.
and just so you know bc i think it would help you to know how much more i am encouraged in my own spiritual life and personal relationship with jesus by you. it confirms my faith that much more to see you walk through this with such grace and beauty. it gives me a reason to keep on walking the narrow path...
anyway, just thought you would like to know what i was thinking...it always helps me.
