One year later...

Scripture's encouragement for today:

"In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would knowb my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 1Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." (John 14:2-15)

Continuing to celebrate Mom's life and legacy. Missing her so much, but feeling encouraged by this passage of scripture and the kind words many of you have shared on Facebook and in person...

  4. Thanks, Nadine. I echo everyone else. I especially like the group Easter picture. It's painful that your mom's not in it, but there's so much symbolism there: the new life in the buds of the tree, the new life growing inside you and Deborah, and your mom's new life in heaven -- invisible in the photo, but realer than real, truer than true.

    On July 9, Mike & I were driving from Delaware to visit his mom in Pennsylvania. As we passed the Smyrna rest stop, I pointed and said, "That's where I called Will that I was on my way. [July 6] Deb died a year ago yesterday."

    Know that Deb remains in our hearts & memories, and your extended family remains in our hearts & prayers as God's next chapter for all of you unfolds.

    Love,
    Aunt B.J.
