There is a dark shadow hanging over my world today.  My mother passed away this morning.  Though I am terribly sad and already feel the hole in my heart, I am grateful for 2 things.  First, she loved the Lord and secondly, she was fortunate not to have been filled with pain or to have lingered.

“I will turn their mourning to joy; I will comfort them and make them rejoice rather than sorrow.” Jeremiah 31:13
