Mother's Day In Heaven (Poem)

My Mom went home to be with the Lord on September 22nd, 2005. This is her first Mother's Day In Heaven. Please pass this on to anyone you think may be encouraged or comforted by it. Thank you.

Mother’s Day In Heaven

It’s your first Mother’s Day in Heaven –
I'm so thankful that you're not alone;
As you behold the face of our Saviour,
And are blessed to worship at His throne.

Mom, I would love to send you flowers,
Though their fading glory could not compare
To the beautiful sights and sounds of Heaven,
And your very own mansion over there.

I never thought so much about Heaven,
As I have since you’ve gone home to that place –
Oh Mom, I miss you so very much,
And I long to see your precious face.

You see, this earthly home now seems more empty –
Its glitter and glamour can no more impress;
For Heaven is the place of God’s truest riches –
Where our Father only keeps the best!

Since you turned and trusted in the Saviour,
An amazing change has taken place;
Dwelling in the presence of Jesus now,
In Heaven - only because of His grace.

It’s your first Mother’s Day in Heaven –
With everlasting joy and peace up there.
Oh Mom, I miss you so much now,
But I know our reunion will be beyond compare.

Thank you Jerry, I will send a link to my siblings. I had not thought of Mothers Day much yet. I have always bought mother a corsage to wear to Church. I opened her deep freezer one day and it was full of corsages that I had given her over the years neatly packed away in the boxes that they came in. A flower will not last forever but a mothers love will and even though my mother has gone on to be with the Lord, I can still feel that love!

John 3:16 - The Gospel In A Nutshell

John 3:16 - The Gospel In A Nutshell For God (the greatest Giver) so loved (the greatest motive) the world (the greatest need), that He gave (the greatest act) His only begotten Son (the greatest gift), that whosoever (the greatest invitation) believeth (the greatest decision) in Him (the greatest Person) * believeth in Him (the greatest opportunity) should not perish (the greatest deliverance), but (the greatest difference) have (the greatest certainty) everlasting life (the greatest possession). ~ Adapted from several sources ~ *Alternative point given. I used the above outline of John 3:16 as the outline for my message today at the Gospel Mission. It went very well. I would like to share it with you too. Please keep a man from the Mission in prayer. I do not know his name (but the Lord knows who he is!) - but he was obviously fascinated by the message. He is a big muscular man, covered with tattoos - rough looking, but the Lord can save him too - and today he heard the G...

Buy The Truth And Sell It Not

Buy The Truth And Sell It Not Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. In this Laodicean age where so many doubt that there is such a thing as absolute truth, the Lord Jesus Christ identifies Himself as, " the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness ." He IS the Truth (John 14:6) - He is the incarnate " Word of God" who lived the written Word of God. The Bible is the Truth (John 17:17), claiming to be inspired completely by God (2 Timothy 3:16) - over 3000 times in the Old Testament it claims to be the Word of the Lord. Isaiah 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street , and equity cannot enter. In our modern society, truth is fallen in the street - it is overlooked, discarded, abandoned. How much value do you place on the truth? How much time do you spend studying it? Do you know your Bible from cover to cover - or are you like many that take a smo...

Be Ye Transformed (Romans 12:2)

Be Ye Transformed (Romans 12:2) Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Conformed - the word is Strong's #4964 and means "to fashion alike, i.e. conform to the same pattern". This is referring to the external condition or outward appearance of something. We are not to be fashioned together according to the likeness of this world, according to the course or philosophy of this present age. 1 Peter 1:14-15 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Fashions and philosophies change, but God's Word never does! Let's not imitate the things of the world (the fads, the fashions, the lost's way of thinking, the lost's outward appearance). The world does not have the power to change you f...
