For Pep - 08/19/08 07:38 AM
My Mom was dying of cancer. She'd been in an out of consciousness for days and was being fed through a drip. When she fell unconscious I prayed that God would take her home.
I felt strongly that God gave me the word " for her sake, my sake or your sake, Bob? To everything there is a season".
Mom was briefly conscious next day. We rejoiced and shared some lovely thoughts. We talked about her going to glory. She told me:
"Some angels visited me yesterday and told me that I shall go to Glory on Monday. Don't worry son, I'm very happy to go."
We hugged. Mom slid into semi consciousness. Delightfully she was making all the hand movements of swaddling and cuddling a baby in that state. Even at the end her instinct was to care for her babies.
Mom soon passed to coma. It was Thursday.
She hung on until a few minutes into Monday morning when she passed. I held her as she breathed her last.
There is a season to all things Pep. Pray praise to God, don't pray for death.
all blessings
