Last nite mom slept well. The new meds really knock her out. I sleep next to her just in case she needs anything when she is staying in my home. I don't want her to have to wait for anything that can ease her pain. I prayed during the night and kept waking up every couple of hours. My prayer was more like "Lord, give her a little respite from all this pain". Upon waking up at around 7 am, she was still asleep. I went for my regular morning routine: prayer, reading the Word and a large cup of coffee.
Hours later, we were visited by a Social Worker assigned by the Hospice Team to visit mom and see about her progress. She was also a believer. God is truly assembling quite the team for mom. After a few minutes of getting acquainted she wanted to see mom. She walked into my little "Oasis of Peace" I have created for mom. Soothing colors in the bed and walls (Ice blue) and healing scriptures with violins playing in the background in both English and Hebrew. I highly recommend it, its by Sid Roth.
Everyone who walks into the Oasis of Peace Room is impacted by the Presence of God there. You can even sense and see the angelic movement in it. The Social Worker noticed the scriptures I have written on paper on the walls. My mom told her every time she looks at it it gives her hope. I felt like, "dagg, at least I'm doing something right". That feeds my hope. And don't get me wrong, it may not be hope that mom will get better because I am not in denial...this is a matter of time (unless God says otherwise of course) but I am hopeful that her process is one of peace and release and comfort in the Presence of the Lord and in a small but effective way I get to be a part of this.
This morning mom asked to go to the beach and guess what I'm doing after this....yeap, we are going to the beach. Lucky for me, I live like 15 minutes away from the ocean. I will take pictures and post it later. For now...my prayer was answered! We are getting that day of respite today and we are going to enjoy it in Yeshua's mighty name.
Thank you Lord for this day, we will rejoice and be glad in it!
