Wishing You A Blessed Holiday
Dear Friends,
This is my 6th holiday season since Molli left this earth, and I still miss her terribly. I still have my "Molli Moments" (just a minute ago actually) when the tears will flow, and I'll remind her how much I miss her. It's different now than before, however, because I can control how long I want to feel the loss and express it. That didn't come over night so don't expect it to.
What helps me at this time of year and her birthday (Jan 6th) is to praise Him who sent her to me and realize how very blessed I was to have such a precious daughter even for 15 short years. Many don't even have that opportunity. I was able to love her, hold her, laugh with her, and watch her grow and touch other's lives. There are those in this world that are better people because they knew my daughter. I have been able to reach out and help other young people along with grieving parents because I loved Molli Anne.
There is a saying I heard many years ago - I can complain that roses have thorns - or rejoice that thorns have roses. I "choose" to find the joy in my sorrow - which honors Molli more, and certainlly our Lord. You will get there, too, so hang in there.
I am here for you and the Holy Spirit is the greatest Comfortor of all.
God bless you all,
Jill
