Today was my Mormor's birthday. It was the first one we've had since she went to heaven.
It is pretty neat to think about the party in heaven. However, I wonder if there really was one today? Like do your birthdays still matter when you are in the presence of your LORD? I guess we will never know. Well, until we are there.
It was a hard day. It was a weird day.
Mormor hasn't been on mind as much lately, as in the past. I hate to say that. I miss her daily. I want to pick up the phone and call her weekly, but it doesn't hurt as much I guess.
Today though, it was weird. Not being able to call her and sing happy birthday was tough.
It was also kind of an odd day, as one of the bible studies I'm participating in is studying Romans. And today was talking about Love.
I feel as though most of her life Mormor didn't have to learn how to love. She was always so bright and shining, and wanted everyone to know how loved they were, by her and by Jesus.
She ended every phone call with me by saying I love you, God Bless and Jesus loves you.
Today I learned I need to love better.
I wish she was here to help me learn that. One thing I know is she read her bible daily, and while I like to talk about my Lord, and I like to bring things back to Him. I have let my personal time slip away, my time with the Him and His Book. The story of love. Its like we say at church...we need to learn to love God completely and ourselves correctly so we can love others compassionately. \
My prayer tonight, is that I would be able to stick up for me. Stick up for my personal time. My time with my bible and my Lord. So I can learn to love others through His eyes and not my own.
