"Walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord." Ephesians 5:8-10
Today's devotion made me think of my beautiful Mom.
On this day three years ago she moved into her heavenly mansion.
I smile when I think she no longer carries any burdens.
It makes my heart sing to imagine her dancing on the heavenly streets of gold.
Mom walked as a light for others.
She bore many sorrows in her eighty-six years. Yet she accepted God's will and gave thanks when it felt burdensome.
As an English teacher she taught many.
As a woman who smiled in the middle of her struggles she taught many more about joy in the midst of difficult seasons of life.
Mom's home was always open with a hot cup of coffee and a listening ear.
Her warm smile lifted heavy burdens from the hearts of many who called her "Ma".
But I'm thankful for the legacy of her smile – a family trait passed through generations.
God bless your smile too.
