mom's spirit

Someone asked me, how can you believe in God? My answer is easy, you don't know my mother, sweet Anna Bernice Saylor Brock. She has been touched by God's spirit and I have been touched by her spirit. One example, I was driving home from work and felt like someone was standing on my chest. I knew it was my mother. I called her and she said, " I've been praying for you." I told her that whatever she was praying about was okay now. I felt peaceful with joy in my heart. I feel that way now. If you know my mother, I 'm sure that you too have been touched by her and felt her spirit.
I sat reading to my mom from the bible her last few days and I was guided to this verse. In Gal. 5-6, Faith which worketh by Love. This may be translated, Faith that shows itself through Love. I felt that this verse was my mother, her faith showed it self through her love.
We must say good by to my mom's physical being, but I know that her spirit, God's spirit will always be with me.
She said many times, as she drifted into her own world the last few years, that she was going to climb the hill to find her little boy and cross the river to the other side. I'm sure she is on the other side of the river with Jesus. So I can't be sad.
I want to thank you Jesus for sharing my mom with us for as long he did. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you Jesus.
