mother is dying
Grateful:
Peggy,
Hang onto Isaiah 26:3 for all you're worth!! (I've clung to it MANY times, and it DOES "pan out" in verity!) It goes like this :
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee."
I'm still praying for God's Peace to flood your entire being, and STAY there!!
Love and Hugs,
Linda

Hello family just thought I would let you all know about my mom. I talked with my nurse sister (she is a surgical nurse) and she said mom had 6 months to live. I have been waking up crying because last week my husband had a stroke in our kitchen. His sight became distorted, he couldn't talk well, and stand up. He would not go to the hospital he said he wants to die at home. So his mind has been confused lately and he hasn't been himself. I have a strong belief in freedom and independance and I can not ignore his wishes. Some good news is I was able to talk with my mom about the my childhood hospitalization (starvation) she miminized the situation at first but I said to her mom you were too over whelmed to take care of all of us. She had just spent 5 years dealing with a schizophrenic paraniod husband, was 6 mos pregnat, weighing in at 93 pounds, no money , no home ,no education, no driver license, and 5 children 12 and under. Its no wonder she didn't lose her mind and all of us in foster care. Love is a beautiful thing on this earth. We received some freedom in Christ that day. I was so happy to beable to say finally to her those words and that she was a good mom and I loved her. When I look at Jesus I see so much love and this forum reading again this thread how can I say how much it means to me. I tried to give you my best and share with you concerning male and female post but it didn't go well and it got worst. So happy its gone. Love is what I see Jesus is bring me too I see so much pain in this world right now and in our country. Is not God preparing us to have his love flowing out of us to others above alot of others things. Folks the very same guy who slam me down on the ground and rub my face in the dirt is now a helpless cripple man needing the love of Jesus minister to him and I have the grace to be in Christ Jesus for such a time as this. What a honor. thank for listening it helps love peggy

Hi Peggy,
I'm so glad you were able to connect with your mom; I'm sure it was a healing time for both of you. She must have carried the guilt around with her for a long time, and like you told her, she was overwhelmed with her life. I can't even imagine walking in her shoes. I feel that the minimization of the situation on her part is a defence mechanism so that she is not overly conscious of the guilt and can keep going. It must have been freeing for her to hear you say that you understand what she went through and that you love her. That is beautiful Peggy, and thank you for sharing that.

Friend Peggy,
Thank you for sharing your intimate feelings and needs.
I'm an old man and have had a few mild problems in my life, but nothing like the pain you have suffered. I imagine that there are many more folks like me who have had just enough love and just enough success in life to be unfamiliar with the pain you and many others on the forum have related to us. I think then that the feelings and difficulties you have shared are a blessing to us as well. We need to know these things.
When a person hasn't suffered, it is more difficult to empathize with folks who have had more than their share and God is training us to develop sincere feelings and a real caring attitude to use in our relationship with Lord Jesus and all the folks we will be helping in the judgment time.
Jesus suffered more than any of us and yet we can forget his loving sacrifice because it seems so far away and long ago. Now because of your courage, we have an opportunity to know you and to care for someone close to us, who needs our love and prayers.
Please keep me in your prayers too, so that I can learn to be a more loving and caring person.
Thank you, Bob
