Through every heartache I’ve had, He’s kept me. He’s kept me in my right mind and gave me strength to go on. The most difficult time in my life was the lost of my baby boy, Gerald. Today he would have been 31 years old. In my Facebook post today, I stated that I’m grateful to God for His love. I’m grateful that He’s a merciful God; a patience God and a giving God. I can’t imagine what my son would have become; if he’d be married with children or single and successful. What I do know is his location. 24 hours a day; 7 days a week; 365 days a year. He’s safe in the Master’s arms. I thank God for that assurance.
Each year on his birthday I remember the nine days he spent on this side of heaven. He was and still is a blessing to me. And even though it’s been 31 years, there’s still pain, but it’s bearable. God truly knows what we can and can’t handle. He knows our strength and our weaknesses. I’m thankful Lord. I’m thankful I’m still standing. I’m thankful I’m pressing toward the mark of the high calling. I’m pressing to fulfill the purpose you have for my life. Thank you Lord for Life & Favor!
Happy birthday Lil Gerald. I love you with all my heart.
Love,
Mommy
