Someone I know has a small flat box, lined with thick cotton
wool. Nesting inside are a couple of gold coins. Precious.
We’re all walking each other home. My dear Mom’s mind is
increasingly closed into a box. Perspective and understanding are no longer
hers. Looks like she’s going to have to journey on into another type of living
space.
I am devastated, but as I scramble to find the way forward,
I am reminded that Jesus is above, below, before and behind, and he carries my
precious Mom in the deepest recesses of his heart. She is absolutely safe, held
in his love.
I’ve seen him move the mountains before, and as we stumble
into another valley, my eyes are on him. I’ll see him do it again.
His love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:8
