Today is Tuesday, September 26th, 2006; Karen's Korner #897

Two things from Cathy Jones, who is the mom of our daughter Merry's first college roommate, Krista. During the first month of Merry and Krista's college career, the Jones family lost Krista's only brother. The Jones family has learned to lean on Jesus for His love and comfort. The second item is an "it happened to me" experience. Those are always great to hear or read:
 
  "This is something I found tucked in Mom's Bible. I wish she had dated it so perhaps I could determine what was happening in her life at the time.  Anyway, it comforts me to read it.:
 

A NEW SONG!

 

Praise the Lord!  Sing a new song.

I have found Jesus!

What more can I say -

Be glad!

 

He walks with me always.

I am never alone.

He stands beside me in sorrow and joy.

He is there!

 

He is great!

His love is unfailing -

His compassion, goodness and mercy

Unfailing, too.

 

No, I shall never be alone.

He will be there, and

I shall thank Him always

And praise Him forever.

 

        AMEN

   "Also something that happened while I was visiting my mother for the last time.  She kind of blinked and

waved her arm in front of her, like you would do if a bug flew at you.  I thought maybe she was in pain and
asked her about it.  She said, 'No pain.  Something just flew at me.' I told her the windows were closed and
there weren't any bugs in the room. 
    Then she said, 'And there's all that fluttering up there,'  and waved her arm and wiggled her fingers and looked toward the ceiling. 
    Then I got it!  I said,  'Mom, God has sent some angel messengers to tell you that they're getting ready for you in Heaven.' 
    She said, 'Oh, OK.'"
