Dear Mom, We Hear Your Footsteps – Graphic Print

COMMENTARY

This poem is a tribute to the lovely life of Lois Weddle.  She was so blessed by God to be able to raise her daughters Jody, Sam and sissy with tender love and care.  Originally Jody had asked me for the use of another person’s poem in honor of her mother’s passing.  I quickly sensed the joy of the Lord and the anointing to write an original poem for Lois.  Isn’t it neat to think that if we quiet ourselves enough and concentrate on the Lord Jesus deeply, we too may hear the footsteps of our loved ones on the streets of heaven’s gold?  The pledge from all of Lois’ children is that, not one will be left behind.  If we walk in the light of God’s love and commandments, we have the sure promise that one day we will see all our loved ones again and forever be with them and the Lord.  What a delightful thought!

Girls, rejoice over the fact that not one labor of love that your mother spent on each of you has been lost.  All was stored up in heaven awaiting Lois’ arrival.  Now she will enjoy the blessings of being served and strengthened in the presence of the Lord forevermore. Rejoice, amen!
