My parents both died when I was 23. My father of cancer, 3 months later my mother was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver. They adopted and adored my brother an I. No, not perfect
but loving parents who wanted the best for us. Both were believers and I shall see them again one day....they never lived on earth, long enough to see me come to my Lord, I attended church, was a 'Christian girl' but totally lost. A Christian I was not! My mother had a strong, unshakable yet quiet faith. I know she prayed for my brother and I. The importance of family, of spending time together, valuing each other for being 'just you' was something I wanted for my little family. I have been so blessed. 3 children, my second daughter at 3 months went home to be with Jesus but my daughter and son, continue to give me such joy here in this fleeting sojourn through life. I do not know if my daughter is saved....but, I adore her, she is beautiful, kind, funny and a delight to my heart. We spend lots of time together, she listens to me when we discuss the Lord...she questions, she knows I pray for her. She does not ridicule my faith, nor dismiss it as she knows it is all to me, who I am. My son is walking with Jesus, he is 17 and a gentle witness, He would like to work with young people, is humble, very handsome ( ok, i am biased but he was asked to model for Abercombie & Fitch....he declined , his choice ) and great fun. There is so much laughter in our home when we get together and both my children love to spend time with there parents, holiday with us still ( not all the time
and God has blessed me SO much. My relationships with my children are different, because they do not both share a Biblical world view, but it is in no way less precious and loving. Having had the experiences i have had, i try not to take anything for granted. Life is precious, value every minute. Make sure, Christ is the Lord of your house and your family. God Bless <><
