MOM'S 2010

My Mom's all came together this past Friday at Edisto, for a very special
weekend. Charlotte and Ramelle met me at Main's Market, where
we ate some yummy Tarragon Chicken Wrap and Shrimp Salad
Sandwiches for lunch! Jenn, Maybelle and Sarhi finished
off our group for that night, when Ramelle fixed a wonderful
Chicken Pot Pie for supper.
God sorta knows when we need these times together, and he draws
just the ones who can come. Ofcourse we missed Nellah;Arnett and
Della coming this time!
Karen drove down from Columbia on Saturday, and we piled into
Jenn's wagon and cruised out to Botony Bay, where we were
treated to a tour of this pristine area, and the names of different
Conch Shells! Each Mom's took a picture of her child's name that
she had written in the sand.
This was a beautiful time of remembering, and was one of the most
beautiful places we have ever seen!
God seems to give us different moments in time where we can share
about our children, and how special they still are. God always carries
us through! We watched Tear Soup; ate some of Sarhi's authentic
Cuban Sandwiches, and bid "goodbye" to Karen, who had to
drive back to Columbia that afternoon.(This is always sad!)
These weekends are an extension of the body of Christ in the most
beautiful way. I tell you some of the things we do, so you can feel
that extension too, and pray for us when we come together.
These Mom's experience God's healing even through these fun
times, because they are with other Mom's who love them, unconditionally.....
Just like Christ!
It doesn't matter to us, how their child died; just that we miss them!
Some regular Mom's couldn't come this time, and it's like part of us is
missing, but when new ones come in ,they help us to make a fresh start!
This God of ours in so wonderful to give us this joyful
weekend, and He is such a God of continuation, that He will even let a few of us
sing together in the choir later in the week!
