The day of my mother’s funeral a few years ago I had been looking forward to celebrating my mother’s 90th birthday which was 2 weeks away. She didn’t make it to that day, I had not seen her in awhile due to living out of state and I was suffering a bad case of fibromyalgia, physical pain and just wanted to grieve alone and be with mom’s casket. I definitely was not looking forward to being around people or greeting people. How was I going to face that part on the day mom was going to be honored and remembered one last time before burial? Some friends had reached out on Facebook as I was trying to fight the leg pain and and dread getting dressed. Melissa you had posted a simple post on Facebook but a powerful scripture: “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24. All it took was to see that in God’s word that day and it changed my whole outlook immediately from that point on. And it carried me through the entire day. Always wanted to share that and say thank you because you never know your actions or posts on Facebook with God’s word can be just what someone needs that day to get through! God’s word will not return void! Isaiah 55:11. Keep shining for Him!
Beautiful, Melissa.
Thank you Melissa 💝

I’ll be thinking about this for awhile. Thank you for sharing.
