The Celebration

Posted on by Marla
My Mother 
Multitudes gather in the banquet hall, waiting with jubilation, standing tall
A woman of valor, has been called; they’re gathered for her celebration.
Table is set, King met, now her story to unfold…
A baby girl was born in a lowly little town called Thomasville
Life would be a struggle, but today she’ll wear a crown…
Born into God’s family her destiny would be…living a life in honor of the King…
Oh, she fought many battles, traveled far and wide, but her Jesus, she would never hide…
Telling of his mighty love, wherever she would go…
Souls were delivered from sins dark wake…Holy Spirit led her in each step she’d take…
Eighty-three years make no mistake, she’s a woman of God, she lived for His sake…
Rejection, beaten, left alone at times…the enemy is never kind…
But Jesus called her and said, “She is mine…”
Today is a celebration, these past four years she’s lived on heaven’s shores…
My choice today, is to celebrate her life, I can still her say, “I love you more!”
So, when you live your daily lives, remember to celebrate, when a child of God dies…
Because there will be a celebration on the other side…
Angles singing, brothers and sisters dancing, arms for you will be open wide…
Yes, tears will be shed, but child of God, you won’t be dead…
You’ll be invited to your own celebration!
I choose to celebrate her life not her death.

Mom’s favorite book was the King James Bible she read it often every day.
Matthew 25:22-23 King James Version (KJV)
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
