My Prayer For My Mother

I pray, Mom, that you are greeting children as they arrive. I see you in your white gown, and your beautiful black curly hair. You are wearing that mom smile I love, and you are filled with joy. The children are confused but immediately run to you, understanding. I pray that you are not spending all of your time cleaning up there. I pray that you are playing with children – teaching them games. Lead them to Jesus, who believes in you the way you believe in Him. Mother, I close my eyes and see children in your lap, feeling beloved. I pray mother, that I will instantly recognize you when I arrive. You will throw your arms around me, and I can feel your heartbeat. I hope that you are happy up there, joyful and excited to be there. Mother, you are in my heart and my prayers always. I love you, Mom.
