Letter To Mom

After doing the book together, I wanted to tell you my view of your life.

You have always been an excellent role model - a truly spiritual woman who put Jehovah and her family first. That was your life, that made you feel happy and fulfilled. Your life course gave me inner strength and has been such a help to me through all the phases of my life. 

With all the friends I’ve had, I still consider you my best friend. I always looked forward to sharing things with you. You made it easy for me to confide anything I wanted to and always gave me good, scriptural advice.

I never liked that we spent so many years apart, but I knew it was for Jehovah – we were both doing all we could for Him. I kept reminding myself that this life is temporary and we'd soon be serving Jehovah together in the new world forever. I still look forward to that!

The way you are right now is not the way I will remember you. I will remember all the fun we had - the vacations, flying kites, riding bikes, going to the beach, pioneering together, going out for lunch, shopping together, that you were always young at heart, that we made faces and stuck our tongues out at each other all the time! I will remember the never-ending comfort & guidance you gave me, the spiritual foundation you built in me, your unending romance and love for one man. I will remember your strength and how you endured hardships and trials.

I will remember how you always kept Jehovah foremost in your heart and mind and still do. It's hard for me to imagine that Jehovah loves you more than I do, but He does and you have His smile of approval for your faithful life course.

Pray to Jehovah as much as you can. Think about His role in your life and the blessings you’ve enjoyed. Daydream about the new world and “see” us all there together. Ask Jehovah for the "peace of God that excels all thought". He loves you very much and I do too!!!! 

I know your physical body is shutting down and that it’s not Jehovah’s time to correct the mess that Satan has made. But He will act very soon! Soon we’ll be in the new world and it will be so wonderful that all the suffering and pain we have to endure now won’t even come up into our minds or hearts!!!

Your fight for the faith is coming to an end but mine still continues. I will always pray for the inner strength and endurance you have. I will continue to work hard and be faithful to the end. And with Jehovah’s help, I will be there to welcome you back in the very near future!

I love you very much!!! Debbie
