No, Not What's Next?

Dear Son,

You still have a way of comforting me even though you're not here with me now. As I sat tonight and reflected over the last couple of weeks, I "saw" you and "heard" you saying, "Mom, it's going to be okay." And you are right, everything is going to be okay.

First one a.c. unit, then the next, then a hot water heater, then a Jeep, the tragedy occuring with some family members and now the work truck......I could say, "What's next?".....But I won't. As your sister gently reminded me today, God never gives us more than we can handle. Sometimes I think that God has a lot more confidence in me than I do in myself. But with all He allows in our lives, He also gives us the grace to sustain us through the hard times.

As hard as things have been, I am grateful for so many more things. Looking at the bigger picture, I have so much more than most people and I am truly grateful for that.

Thank you once again for setting your mother straight!!

I love you my precious son,

Mom
