See You In The Morning

By

 


Sometimes God wakes me up in the morning and a deep thought comes to my mind. Today I thought about my life and how as you are raising your children, you spend every single day with them until they are 18-25 years old, but independence happens, then if distance separates you, you see them 6-12 times a year (this has been my scenario). Some parents who live by their children get more time together. (Count your blessings!) So this was one of my first thoughts this morning.

Then I woke up to my devotional with Pastor Greg Laurie this morning and read the following:

“A Christian father who was terminally ill called his three sons to his bedside. To his two sons who were believers, he said, “Goodbye, my sons. I will see you in the morning.” Turning to his third son, he simply and sadly said, “Goodbye, my son.”

The young man was deeply disturbed. He said, “Father, why is it you said to my brothers, ‘I will see you in the morning,’ and you only said to me, ‘Goodbye, my son’? Why didn’t you say you would see me in the morning, too?”

His father replied, “Son, you have never asked Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Savior and Lord. And that is what breaks my heart the most. I will never see you again.” That son began to ask his father how he could be saved, how he could see his father again. His father told him how. The son prayed and received Christ into his life. Then his father said, “Now our family will be together in eternity.”

(Now me typing again.) After reading this, I thought to myself, how sad it would be to not be able to spend eternity with the ones that I love so dearly. I am a Christian and it is my hope that I will see all my friends and family in the morning.♥️

      I do have this on my wall!! It’s my favorite family picture. It is a sad topic and I don’t think of it all the time, but Pastor Laurie gave me food for thought. I complain about the distance of not seeing my kids as often as I used to, but not seeing them in heaven would be far worse. My prayer is always that my children rely on God in all things in their life. I instilled the foundation. It is up to God to do the rest.♥️

Don't Worry About Tomorrow

I was reminded of the time when I was a little girl and in Kindergarten that our art project was to make a handprint using clay. I remember we used glaze. I picked yellow because I knew that was my mother's favorite color. The teacher had them fired and then they were distributed back to us to give to our parents. The picture to the left is a picture of the handprint that I have to this day. I had wondered what had happened to it for a long time and then forgot about it for years. Late into my adulthood, I was visiting one of my favorite cousins. She informed me that their family had discovered a little handprint. They were trying to figure out who it belonged to. It has the initials CG on it. My cousin finally remembered that is Cindy's!! So she presented it to me. I have to say at the time it really brought tears to my eyes. To see that my little hand had touched what was given me. My aunt used to watch me as a child and I must have forgotten to give it to my mother. I'm ...

Introduction

  My name is Cindy. I’m a seasoned senior at 65 years old. To say I have had an interesting life is an understatement. My goal with this blog is to encourage individuals with excerpts from my life story — my testimony. My blog will mention a lot about my relationship with Jesus Christ. So, there is a chance you may be inspired as well. I came up with the title of my blog by recognizing that I am imperfect, but in accordance to scripture Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”  (NIV) — I know I am wonderfully made. I know that everything I am was thought of long before my life began — before I was formed in my mother’s womb. Oh how I wished I had the wisdom I have now at my age when I was a young girl as to how wonderfully made I was and to have been able to turn off the noise that affects one’s confidence. Everything I am was put together by God. I am wonderfully made. I was born with a purpose. ...

Closing Out 2025

I remember when I was young I used to think of the years we are currently living through and thinking how far in the future the years seemed. I would often question whether the world would continue to exist or if I would still be alive. Here I am still alive in these years!! It’s crazy. What’s more crazy is how we are just a little over two days and 2026 will be here!! Since I was a very young girl, I always would contemplate what my future would be like. I was raised as a Christian, so I was very prayerful. I remember when I would think about getting married, I would pray that God would send me someone. Then I would pray for my future children. I would ask God if I were blessed to have children that I would live long enough to see them become adults. Well, I can honestly say that God has blessed me beyond those prayers and I’m now blessed with two grandchildren who I’m seeing entering into their preteens and teen years. My grandparents on both sides of my parents passed away by the ti...
