Here is a story that just happened today. When I was at Women of Faith a couple of weeks ago the verse that they quoted all weekend is "God can do anything you know- far more than you could imagine, or guess or request in your wildest dreams" ~ Ephesians 3:20 (The Message)
Well today I had to go to the store to pick some Mother's Day cards. This will be the first mothers day since my mom passed away. And even though I would totally and completely like to boycott sunday, I know that the first one will be the hardest. So I got mother's day cards for my step-mom from me and my kids. Well while I was there I thought why not pick up a graduation card for my step-brother who is graduating with his bachelors degree. I didn't really like any of the ones I saw so I bought one that was suitable.
I came home and had a good cry because it was a hard day. Well I had to run to a different store for a couple of things and I stopped to look at the graduation cards and lo and behold there was a graduation card with Ephesians 3:20 on it.
I don't have a memorial box yet, but when I do I will put a post it card with Ephesians 3:20 on it to always remember that God is in control and He wants to give us far more than you could ever imagine or request in your wildest dreams.

I like the idea of a memorial box for a loved one. Just something to put memories in, so when we really miss them, we can take out the box and remember.
I love you, Audre, and I hope that you start missing your mom less and less.
