When things are going well, it can be easy to sense God’s closeness. But even on our worst days, if we’d just sit with Him for a while, He will not only comfort through the pain we are feeling, He will also give us a fresh perspective so that we can begin to see things from His point of view. It is unbelievably powerful when we decide to trust in God instead of relying on our own understanding of things (Prov. 3:5).

Stop and look around you. Where can you see God's goodness? What can you thank Him for?

Antie Granny. . That’s what my kids called her. Antie Granny. . That’s what my kids called her. . She wasn’t just my sister’s mother-in-law. She was a mother to us all. Loving on us. Listening to us. Leading us by example. . When I talked to her just a few weeks ago about missing my mother, she teared up as she told me how she missed her mother still. . She rubbed my arm and reminded me that Mommy wasn’t gone and that she was still near. She encouraged me to keep talking to her because she would always be with me and shared that she still talked to her mother and sister everyday. . She was sure that heaven was real and was her home. . Ms. Mary felt like home to me. . I will miss you. Thank you for exemplifying what love-in-action looks like. . Repeated from @priscillashirer . This woman. Mary L. Shirer The personification of faithfulness, tenacity, tenderness, peace & commitment to Jesus and family. Twenty-one years ago, she welcomed me into her family when I married her son, Jerry. She has helped us raise her grandsons, showed me how to properly season a cast iron skillet and she has written down her consistent, daily fervent prayers for our family for decades. She was vibrant, full of life & looking forward to the future. So were we. This week, while taking a nap here in the place we all call home together, she slipped into eternity. Just like that...she was gone. 💜 Jerry & I are so grateful that #heavenisreal. Thank you for everything Ms. Mary. And for your son. He leads us, protects us & covers us because you showed him how. I have always been so proud to be your one & only daughter-in-law. Your life has marked me. It has marked us all. Eternity will tell all the ways. Tell my mommy hello for me. 💜 I’ll see you both again some day. . 1943-2020

She made it all look so easy. . Mothering kids. Bu She made it all look so easy. . Mothering kids. Building organizations. Cooking dinner. Caring for home. Looking amazing. Supporting her husband. Honoring her passions. Giving gifts. Celebrating holidays. Learning new things. Managing money. Continuing to dream. Handling hard times. Enjoying life. . I think about her all the time...usually with awe and disbelief at how she lived and always with gratitude that I get to be her daughter. . So many things I would love to say to her in appreciation and in celebration of the wonder of all things Mommy, Nonny, and Lois, but I’m so grateful that over the years I’ve given her all my words. Cards. Birthday texts. Social media copy shared publicly. Phone calls. Texts. Face to face. I would have loved to have more time to share more words with her but any of my words would have simply reiterated my awe and gratitude. . She knew. . Not one day goes by where I don’t think about her. And when I do...I’m in awe. . Because I know it wasn’t easy. . But because of her grace and class and fortitude and strength and trust in God, she sure made it look exactly that way. . Life can be hard. And the chapters of grief in the middle life’s story certainly add to the difficulty. . But because I got to watch her move through life and, even through the hard, hold her head up and keep going — building legacy, loving people, and leaning in to God’s grace for her journey — I believe I can too. . Life isn’t easy. . My journey of missing her isn’t either. . But because I had her as my mother and she set a beautiful example of life lived well even through the ups and downs — I choose to believe that life can still be good. . She made it look so easy. . And while her life certainly wasn’t without its tough chapters, she showed me what it looks like to live out an excellent life story — and how to journey through life exceptionally well. . On hard days, I remember her and think... she did it and you can too. On good days I think... thank you Mom for teaching me to smell the roses and for showing me how to live.
