She said, "Knowing that my mom has the Lord, is the best thing for me"

A vision of beauty, an essence of peace, a love that is so deep-rooted...adversity can't steal it, time can't rob it, everything of the world can't kill it.  She's in her early twenties, just completed college, moves on forward to graduate school.  Raised in a family that truly believes in the Lord, never voicing out loud why did this happen.  Her countenance is ever so peaceful.  She has a glow and a smile that emits more than just experiencing a happy moment.  She's just different.  Never calling attention to herself, diligently doing the task that she is asked to do.  Her mother is diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancer has spread and the discomfort is unbearable at times.  Recently, it was more difficult for her mother.  Still, she comes to work, never a tear streaming down her face.  She comes up and asks me, "how are you doing?"  Care never left this young woman.  Always, at the departments events, laughing along with her co-workers.  Deep inside there must be pain, sadness, and questions.  When asked, "How is your mom doing?" The response she gave will stay in my heart, and she said, "Knowing my mom has the Lord, is the best thing for me".  This child of God, has exhibited faith beyond comprehension to the worldly person, she knows that the Lord has a place for their mother and one day she & her family will be together with Jesus.  Our life on Earth is temporary, and where we go after is Eternal life.  I thank the Lord for placing this beautiful young woman in our department to simply be the Lord's light & an extension of her mother that truly believes in the Lord.  Her mother gave her the greatest gift that she can ever have...the GOOD NEWS. Amen!

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. – John 3:16
