ODEE WELCOMED ...YET ANOTHER ...
THE LAST FEW WEEKS ....HAVE BEEN SPENT WITH MY [WANDA] MOM.
AS WE HER CHILDREN GATHERED AROUND HER BED ...SINGING "GOD BE WITH YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN" SHE QUIETLY SLIPPED INTO HER HEAVENLY HOME.
IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF HER LIFE , MOM PICKED UP HER STILLED PAINT BRUSHES AND AS ONLY A ARTIST WOULD DO ....SHE PAINTED HER LIFE STORY
HER MIND, WHICH HAD BECOME DIM IN HER DECLINING YEARS, SURGED WITH VIBRANT COLORS ...NOT SEEN FOR SOME TIME ...AS SHE CHOSE A UNIQUE COLOR FOR EACH OF HER CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN ... SHE WAS ABLE TO EXPRESS HER LOVE FOR US.
AS WE RESPONDED...WITH OUR COLOR OF GRADITUDE AND LOVE...THEIR WAS A BLENDING OF SUCH BEAUTY...
WITH RENEWED HASTE ...THE BRUSH STROKES WERE LARGER..AND THE COLORS MORE VIBRANT AS SHE EXPRESSED HER LOVE FOR HER LORD ....
AS SHE OBSERVED HER WORK...THERE STILL SEEM TO BE A COLOR THAT SHE WAS SERACHING FOR ...AND AS SHE QUIETLY ...PUT DOWN HER BRUSHES..[AS IT MUST BE WITH ALL OF US]....HER LORD PICKED UP THE BRUSH ...TOOK THE COLOR OF GRACE ....POURED IT OVER HER PAINTING ...
THE FINISHED WORK .....A MASTERPIECE...ORDAINED BY HER MASTER ...
