Journal entry by Forrest A Blake —
“When I was a little boy and the devil would call my name, I’d say “now who do … who do you think you’re foolin’?” My momma loves me, she loves me, she gets down on her knees and hugs me. She loves me like a rock, she loves me like the rock of ages, and she loves me” 💔On this day, one year ago today … my dear mother slipped from my side on our walk through this life’s journey, seeking her own “Rock of Ages”, landing safely within the ever loving arms of God. 😢Tho the sad filled days have waned, the empty void within my heart still remains. Easter reminds me that there is comfort in the assurances of her salvation, so I silently whisper, “It is well, it is well with my soul”. Slowly the tender memories of her sweet, unconditional love for me and the faith and nurturing which she poured over me, begin to fill the empty cold within and a softly a warm colorful song of admiration and appreciation for a life well lived remains, while my heart cries out: “Mom” ❣️“God be with you till we meet again; Neath His wings protecting hide you; Daily manna still provide you; God be with you till we meet again, Till we meet at Jesus feet, God be with you till we meet again”. <><
