I just came across a treasure trove of products displaying
Bible verses interwoven with the creator’s artistic designs. I am so drawn to
them.
In walking my Mom home, I am witnessing her mental horizons
shrink. She has a few phrases which she enthusiastically repeats, sometimes in
the right context, sometimes not. ‘We all do the best we can.’ ‘Do what you
can, and let it go.’
I love hearing those phrases no matter when they come out,
because they are phrases of encouragement. They reflect the essence of who Mom
is: a great encourager, someone who was always my champion, no matter what. She
is the same loving Mom, despite sometimes being trapped in the throes of
dementia.
I am conscious that the years are rolling by and one day my
verbal horizons might be equally limited. I would like my default phrases to
reflect the love of God, which is so evident in Scripture.
I want to sow seeds of divine love and life deep into my
soul, so that even if the outer ‘me’ changes, I will not forget my default
setting: God is faithful; he is loving and he is always good.
