 In honor of my mom

Eulogy

^{First of all I want to thank everyone for being here to honor my mom, who served as a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, but most of all a daughter of Yeshua Hamashiach also known as Jesus the Christ, Savior of mankind.} 

^{What can I say to honor the woman who gave birth to me?}

^{She cared for me, as she did for all those she loved, people often took advantage of her caring nature which I know hurt her more than she would say.} 

^{She spoke truth into my life and all who would even have a chance encounter with her.  She was human so she wore her heart on her sleeve but even as the negative of human emotions would come flooding out you knew exactly where you stood with her.  There was no pretending, no falseness to her, what you saw is what you got.}

^{She fiercely protected me and I always knew that no matter what,  I always had a roof over my head, a well cooked meal in my stomach, clothes on my back and most importantly a place in her heart. How many times no matter how old I was, did she tell me when I was hurting, that she wished she was with me, to hold me, to pinch my cheeks and whisper how much she loved me.  Her love was strong, independent and true.  Her love for her family through the good times, the hard times and everything in-between will be forever cherished by all those present and all those who could not be here.}

^{They say funerals are places where only good things are said about people and while that is true I feel there is a reason for that.  We are all human and while we are capable of showing love, compassion, mercy and all the good we as humans are able of doing, there is also the dark side to our nature, the sin nature that we all fight against.  We hate, hurt, hit (with words and fists), lie, cheat, gossip, turn our backs on each other but especially for some reason those we love the most.  We all know the evil we are capable of, which is why we speak the good of the person who has left us, a reminder that while we are capable of evil, and evil gone unchecked ends in death, both physically and spiritually, there is also good.}

^{That’s why Jesus came down from the glories of heaven, that is the only reason Jesus came down to earth. He was born of a virgin, worked tirelessly to repair the broken relationship between man and God because of sin, He willingly allowed Himself to be brutally beaten beyond recognition, to where no one who looked upon Him as He hung on the cross for my sins, for your sins could tell if He was human or beast. He died so that we might have relationship with Him, with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. He didn’t just leave it there though. No, not Jesus. After three days He rose from the dead conquering sin and death.  All we have to do is believe and receive His free gift of salvation.}

^{Mom did. Now she can stand before Jesus clothed in robes washed white in the blood of Jesus and say, “Oh, death where is thy sting, oh grave, where is thy victory?” While Jesus embraces her and whispers into her ear, “Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord.”}

^{One day soon I will once again hug my mom, not my mom as a tired, physically ill, worn out by the world and the aches and pains of this world, but as a blood cleansed daughter of the most high King, young and beautiful, clothed in white, and shining brighter than the sun above this earth.} 

^{Some will say heaven gained an angel but the bible says those who are born again of the spirit of God are the adopted children of God and therefore higher than the angels.  My mom is a daughter of God and waits with joy in her heart for those of us here on earth to call on the name of Jesus, to ask Him to save us of our sins, to be washed in His blood and forgiven of our sins, then to make Jesus Lord of every aspect of our lives for if He is not Lord of everything in our life, then He is Lord of nothing. I will miss you while on this earth mom, I will miss the hugs, I will miss the laughter, I will miss your love but most of all I will miss the sound of joy in your voice as we talked about Jesus and our love for Him.}

^{I love you mom and I will see you soon.}
