I had my appointment scheduled for early yesterday morning 5/20/2023. I drove about 45 minutes in normal traffic to get there. About18 or so miles away there was a truck jackknifed off of the highway into a wooded area it looked like. Traffic began to slow down because my guess it might have just happened. I prayed and also thanked Holy Spirit for having me leave my home when I did to not be in the midst of this accident taking place in the rain. It must have been a serious accident because when I was heading home a few hours later, I noticed the same location of the accident was now backed up in very slow-moving traffic it seemed like for miles away from that accident.
I am at the doctor's office, and it has been a bit much for me lately. Finding out my beloved mother-in-law went to be with Jesus and literally weeks from the time my own mother went to be with Jesus. My children have both had to say goodbye to caring, loving, influential women in their lives within a short span of time. I shared briefly with my doctor and inquired of him which would be the best mode of transportation going to the funeral for me. I agreed with him a plane flight is a lot better than driving 9 hours by myself this time around. He finished the chiropractic portion of my adjustment and as he was using an instrument on my back he then began to pray for me, my children and my family in regard to the funeral and the loss of 2 grandmothers. I felt a burden lift from me and I was then able to get the chores done on my list before heading back home.
During my drive time I happened to pick up a Christian radio station and 2 songs touched my heart. Let me see if I can find them for you and they will bring comfort to you also. While back in Ohio for this shorter stay then my last visit weeks ago I told my daughter I will cook for her. My son wants me to find Harry London's chocolate buckeyes because he likes their chocolates. My mother-in-law loved her chocolates so I am in search of getting some so others can enjoy sometime during the funeral services to honor her and her love of chocolate. I never dreamt in a million years that I would be back in Ohio so soon after being there for my mother's celebration of life services. Saying goodbye is really saying hello to a time when we will be joined together in heaven for all eternity.
Oh, this is very important in my drive home experience. It was raining and I am now on the country road portion of my drive home, and I begin to cry. Not tears of sadness for the recent loss in our lives but because I have been so busy since my mother dying that I haven't had real heart-to-heart chats with Holy Spirit. I asked Him to forgive me for my busyness and I began to speak blessings over the farmland crops I was driving past. For bringing me to such a beautiful region for peace, restoration and a place where I get rest. 2 lakes not far from me as He has me tucked away. I thanked Him for the Christian couple that are my landlords that look out for my well-being. I asked Him and I do not even know if this is possible in heaven, but I asked anyway. Please honor and bless both of my children's grandmothers that very day for loving us all so very much and taking good care of us, that those things will not be forgotten in our lives. My children remember when the divorce took place how both Nana & Grandma did things for them because they somehow saw a need to bless the children while they were walking through the divorce process and well beyond that too. How many of you can say both of your grandmothers took you on the same trips all together and even some trips with your cousins too as a part of the trip? How many of you can say that your cousin's grandmother treated you as if you were also one of their grandchildren. So loved that you tenderly referred to them as grandma too when talking to them or referring to them. This is the kind of love that was personified in both of these women. They sure did love well, didn't they?
So, I will be seeing people I may have not seen in a bit of a while and then seeing others I just recently saw. God works all things out doesn't He. I cried when hearing both of these songs on my yesterday journey.
