Mom, giving the midwife one of her famous winks!
The little Midwife
learned what it was like living in a booth, or also called-a temporary
dwelling. She 'lived' in about 5 different dwellings this past week. Her home,
her mother's home, 2 different client’s homes, and her sisters home-often she
was there late at night even after their mother passed away as they prepared
for her funeral.
She learned what it
is like to be living in a temporary dwelling, but not the simple one like
described in the scriptures. Perhaps another year she will learn about that.
But for now, she had lived without knowing where she would sleep, or while
during her travels, where she would get to rest, or if she would even get to
rest. And as for eating, where and when she would get to eat...
She did not get to
rest as others did during this time but GOD still taught her many things, even
more than she has shared with others...some of it was for her only and some of
it, just too personal to share during this sad time. Maybe someday she would be able to share it,
but for now….it was in her heart…safely tucked away…
It was a long week,
but she did make it thru with the LORD GOD YHWH by her side all week.
She will not forget
touching her mother’s hair, and stroking her hair as she told her how much she
loved her. She will not forget how that felt. She will not forget how it felt
to hug her mother, or just to hold her. She will never again know how it feels
for her mom to hug her back, or to look into her mother’s eyes and see the love
there. Even behind the veil of Alzheimer's, she could see the love in her
eyes....
Her mother had been like an innocent child the past year's, living with Alzheimer's, she had trusted all of those who cared for her so.....innocent to what was going on out in the world....tucked away safely in her own home....
Now she envisioned
her mother at the feet of YESHWEH MESSIAH and GOD THE FATHER. Enjoying the
fellowship with them, and those who went on before her.
She wondered if GOD
would take her mother out fishing. Her mother liked to fish…She wondered if
fishing was even allowed in heaven. IF it was allowed, she figured GOD would be
the one rowing the boat….
She thought- mom with
GOD and relaxing in the boat out on a lake...simple sweetness of being with
GOD...
