God know what we need

You know, it's funny how sometimes we forget about time and how it's flown. It's hard to believe that on the 21st it will be 5 years since my mom went home to Jesus. In some ways it seems as though she's been gone a life time, especially when my heart aches to talk to her. Other times it seems like it can't be that long that she's been gone. The funny thing is...God likes to send me reminders of her. On my computer I have a file that has pictures that I scanned of my mom when she was young all the way up through my childhood and beyond. It is not in my screensaver file. It is a completely separate file...yet.....yesterday....the pictures in that file started appearing on my screen saver. I'd be in the room and look over and there was a picture of my mom and I on the screen saver. What a warm and wonderful feeling that brought to me. A reminder....of my mom and the relationship we shared...of the relationship I miss so at times. And then I'm reminded that I have the opportunity to have that relationship with my daughter...to cherish the times we have together for we don't know what tomorrow brings. I say all this to remind you that God sends us what we need when we need it. I needed a reminder of my mom and the good side of our relationship..especially as the 5 year anniversary approaches. The Lord is good!!!!
