A church sister of mine looks just like my mother.  She has the same height, same complexion and same disposition of my mother.  The resemblance is uncanny and yet I have never noticed it while my mother was alive.
     I thought I was the only one who noticed it, but there were quite an amount of brethren who thought the same and it brought on some jovial remarks.
     These are some of the things that will occur while our love ones are resting in the arms of Jesus.  People as well things will continue to remind us of them.  They are gone but not forgotten.  There memory lingers on.
     In a happy way I am reminded of her ever loyalty and faithfulness towards her children.  May her soul rest in peace.

My Mother In My Dreams

I saw my mom in my dreams recently.  It was not a dream I particularly liked because she was still bed ridden.  However, one thing made me happy was that she still had a smile on her face.


This reminded me of her every smiling face through thick and thin, through struggles and tribulation, through sickness and distress.  No matter what the case was, my mother had a smile through it all.


There are times the testings of this life make us want to give up, sometimes they seem unbearable and we want to just whither and die, but if we engage ourselves in the things of the Lord and put a smile on her face and face each trials with a positive attitude, we will eventually be victorious.


There are those who may say, but we have nothing to smile about.  There is always something to smile about, identify it and move on.  With the help of the Lord, things will be better one day.
