This trip to
Sri Lanka has been very emotional for me. The month before I left Jessie had been
in the hospital 4 times. Our life is
shifting. Jessie is 89 now. The day before I left she had to be moved to
a nursing home with a memory care unit. I had no control over where she
would be going or when she would be moved. I saw mom in her new location for
about 15 min before I had to leave her an go to Sri Lanka. My first impression
was good. I saw that the people who lived there were able to move around freely
and the place was clean and the staff interacting with the folks were nice.
I had
to go.
I think this was the
hardest thing I ever did in my life.
A friend had said
to me the mom always cries when the child goes to day care.
That’s how I felt.
I did a lot of praying. My Prayer was for me, and for Jessie. I prayed that
Jehovah watch over her, Protect her and give me peace of mind.
The
Holy Bible @ Philippians 4th chapter verse 6 &7 reminds me “ Do
not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication
along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that surpasses
all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by
means of Christ Jesus.”
THE PRAYER HELPED I FELT CALM.... WEEPY BUT CALM
