Precious

Today at church, the Pastor said that there are two things that are precious to God. Inner beauty and the death of his righteous followers. That made me think that about many things. The first being how I've learned over the years that outer beauty fades but inner beauty can never be destroyed. I continuously work on myself and how I conduct myself around others because I long for that lasting inner beauty. Hearing people say " She is beautiful on both the inside on out" is a blessing in my eyes. For those who miss out on the chance to get to know me and how I look on the inside certainly are missing out. The pastor also reminded us that "the biggest room that people have, is the room for improvement." I believe that too. I can always keep striving to do right in the eyes of the Lord. As far as death of His righteous people being a precious thing, I related that to my Mother's passing. The selfish part of me wants her here in the flesh but I have also realized that the blessings that my Mother received from God went through her and others were blessed because she was highly favored. The blessings that I have been receiving since her passing have been given to me in such a way that I can't think that she is a big part of those blessings. That..... I am most thankful for.

I love you Mom.

My Best Friend

2/8/2012

It's been a week since the passing of my mother, and I still don't feel like the days are getting any better. My heart is heavy and my limbs are weak because I have suffered such a loss. When I think about my mother, I think all of the lives she affected with her positive spirit. She had the ability to make anybody smile because she was such a talker. Her laugh was loud and even annoying at times but I am thankful that I will be able to hear that laugh for the rest of my life because it was so distinctive, Even when she got on my nerves, I would sit behind the other end of the phone and laugh at her actions. Today i feel like this has all been a bad dream and someday I will wake up and see my mother right in front of me. Will I recognize her? Will I dream of her? Will she speak to me are all questions that are constantly running through my mind. My main goal is to continue the legacy of mother and my best frriend.

I love you Catherine Darlene Watson-

Always,
