"You WILL Get Better" ~ Remembering My Mom's Words

 

I was remembering my Mom's confidence, cheerfulness

and faith that when she came and I had lost my memory, 

she would tell me again and again:

"You WILL get better"

or

"You ARE getting better!" 

and 

"Many people are praying for you, you will get 

better, it just takes time." 

***

Thank God my memory is back now. 

***

I had to tell my Husband

(we are dealing with a complicated house repair

with a lot of complications that I can't go into here)

that God WILL help us, 

that we have asked for God's help and 

in God's humility and love He actually listens to our 

requests and cares and WILL help us.

***

I am being challenged to remember

(re Met Kallistos Ware's book, 

The Inner Kingdom) that repentance

is directly linked to hope in God.

Repentance is what we most greatly desire but

often don't know it 

but is the path to true peace and love,

as it is the path to Christ. 

So we have hope, hopeful expectation of God's help

and mercy... 

***

I am finding that the time I am in right now calls

for a lot of waiting, a lot of patience, 

a lot of trust. 

Lessons of my life, that I hope I can grow in.

***

With God's help,

growth can truly happen,

by God's will, time and mercy...

***

May God have mercy on us and save us!
