Planning a Big Family Meal

I wrote last week about a very special lady in my life, Mama.

Mama went to be with God on Sunday night. She slipped away from us here on earth in her sleep and is now in Heaven.

Tonight my Sister, Mom and I sat around the table preparing for a family meal tomorrow. My sister is making my Grandma's Potato Salad, which by the way, is very YUMMY. The recipe card was so sweet. Written in my Grandma's distinct handwriting --Something passed down from one generation to another, but what was so cool about it- was my Grandma had written it out especially for my sister. It had all the ingredients and at the bottom it said-

"It may not taste exactly like mine at first. But keep practicing. And remember, that everytime I was making it, I was making it for someone special-- "YOU". I love you, Mama. "

Good Grief! I started crying. How sweet is that?! Joy in serving others and reminding them of your love for them. A good lesson for me.

Here's a heaven verse for you:
(This is Jesus talking to his disciples)
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going." John 14 verses 1-4
