A Letter From Mother
My mother died a few days after my fourth birthday. The only knowledge I have of her comes from stories my family tells.
When I was a teenager, my dad handed me an envelope. Inside was a letter Mother had written to me before she passed away. I read her handwritten note: “I want to tell you how very much I love you and how I wanted and waited for you. You probably won’t remember too much about me as the years go by, but I want you to grow into a fine young man, to be always mindful of God, and to ask for God’s direction. Remember your mother loved you with all her heart and will always be with you in spirit.”
To be loved by someone I don’t remember is a strange, wonderful feeling. Actually, we all can know what it feels like. My mother’s love is but a reflection of the love of God, our parent, who has yearned for us from the beginning of time.
The Bible is a letter from God to us, reminding us of the love that mysteriously embraces us until we see God face to face. As Jesus said, “Remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matt. 28:20).

I retrieved this message today from a daily devotional I read every morning. If you may be interested in a free daily devotional, I think you may enjoy The Upper Room.

Mom
Started the day with an early Mother's Day treat for Mom. She likes Pentas planted in the front of her home so it was a nice day for doing that. That should last until Christmas, as long as they get sun and water. Thanksgiving at least.
After a visit to our hospital today, I saw this in the parking lot: a coffin in the back of a pickup. Interesting story there, I bet.

Domestic Desert
Saw several desert plants in bloom today while out walking. They were in yards; not the desert but I am glad to see folks turning away from grass landscaping and designing more for dry & hot times. Still very dry here but a very pleasant spring. By this time last year we had already had several 100+ days but this year, cool and cooler is the norm and it is very welcome.
