You are such a gifted writer, Laurie, and have once again spoken directly to me today. This blessing from Numbers was spoken at the end of every church service of my Lutheran childhood. The beautiful words calm my anxious heart and bring tears to my eyes. I am going to try to repeat it to myself daily. What a great idea you had!
Can I tell you from my own experience that you will always miss your mom but the shape of that will change over the years. You will carry her in your heart forever, but the hurting turns to a sweetness in remembering. I promise!
Thanks, Sharon. That is exactly how I feel about this blessing! They "calm my anxious heart and bring tears to my eyes." This blessing became even more powerful to me when I heard this rendition during Covid. It's incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUtll3mNj5U
It has more than 5.5 million views now but I remember watching it when it had just 300 views... I listened to it more times that I can count.
Thank you for your words on my mom. Yes, I am coming upon 3 years and I am sure the sweetness will happen. I know she is with Jesus so that helps so much as well. But I do miss her alot. But also, God is constantly giving me signs that she is alive and well and I am very grateful!
