Friday's Fave Five #817



Hi everyone.  My sweet Mom has passed into the arms of Jesus.  And while I am heart broken that on this earth I will not get to hug her again and will miss her greatly, I rejoice knowing that because of Jesus I will see her again.  It was not a forever goodbye.  So once again I am putting Mr. Linky here for you all and will not be joining due to time constraints of not only Christmas but now planning a funeral in the middle of it all.  I have lots to be grateful for even in the midst of the pain but not the time to do up posts.  But please go ahead and leave your FFF link in the Mr. Linky.  I wish you and your families all a very Merry Christmas.  Love on them an extra bit and hug them tight.


I'll leave you with my favorite Christmas song this year, the one has been on repeat for me as we've gone through the last couple of weeks.  It's from a powerful and beautiful Christmas concert you can watch the whole of here:  The Birth of a King: Live in Concert.  But meanwhile here is Noel.

So sorry for the loss of your dear mom, Suzanne.

You know we are praying for you and your family.
I know exactly what you're feeling Susanne.....there is great peace in the assurance that our loved ones, when they know Jesus, are with Him in heaven. Cling to those precious memories and know that you are seen, heard, and loved.

I'm so sorry, Susanne. It's never easy to lose a loved one, but it seems especially painful this time of year. My parents both died in December, though in different years. I'm so grateful you have the joy of knowing she knew the Lord and is with Him and you'll see her again. Yet it still hurts not to have her physical presence here and to miss her. Praying for you and your family.

Susanne, my heart and prayers are for you and your family at this time. It is such a comfort that we have that hope of seeing each other again. And who knows, my mother and your mother may have bumped into each other and are having a nice chat. I hug you for afar. I understand. We love you. Take time to heal and mourn but remember that hope we have in Jesus.
