As most of you know, I lost my mom to cancer on Feb. 6, 2006. She would have been 60 years old this week - September 26th. Birthdays were a big deal in our family. My mom especially loved her birthday!
When my daughter (who just turned 8 this month) was born, I asked my mom, "did you ever love me this much?" She told me, "I still do!" I couldn't understand why I didn't feel that magnitude of love. The last 2 weeks of her life, I would hold her hand and whisper "I love you" and she responded with "I love you more than you will ever know." Until you have children, it is almost impossible to imagine how much a mother loves!
I miss my mom so much! I miss having family dinners, game night and birthday celebrations, long and short phone chats and buying birthday presents.
I pray today that you will love on your family and others in a big way - without regret! The greatest commandment is LOVE.
Love in Christ, Sheri
About Me
- SheriYates
- I spent most of my life chasing empty substitutes for God! I tried to get my worth and value from being great in school, working hard at my job, from friends, BOYS/MEN! from parents, family, college and from my career! It was like there was a hole in the bottom of my cup! Everything that was great in my life would eventually not be ENOUGH and I would feel empty again! I was miserable for so long! Saved from Hell when I was only 10 years old, but I didn't really get that this saving thing wasn't just about a destination, but it was a journey until I was about 12 years old. I didn't really start walking in my Identity and completely resting in WHO I was in Christ until about 6 years ago! Walk with me through understanding that you were chosen by God before birth to WALK with Him, not to just see Him after this life, but to experience His fullness right in the middle of this life - this torn world - this world of Murphy's Law! You will find that God is the cup and He fills it to the full so that everything we do becomes an OVERFLOW of Him!
