He heals the broken hearted

Psalm 147:3  He heals th brokenhearted and binds up their woumds.
`
There has been many times that my heart has been broken.   During these times I felt like a slow death was taking hold of me.  No human no matter how well intended can take the pain away.  They do comfort us for a time but the reality of the pain slowly makes its entry again and again day after day.

I can remember this pain after my dear mother died at 92.  I knew she was in heaven and the times the Lord allowed us to experience together those last monthes was so wonderfuly blessed in many supernatural ways.  Our three girls were now married and gone putting my husband and I in a position to devote this special time with Mom.

 We moved her into our spare bedroom and I took over the chores of caring for someone who was active and vibrant for so many of her years on this earth.  Clubs gatherings weekly activitys with others she befriended in the senior club she frequented for alot of her active years. There was also family members she visited buying treats and special bargains she delighted in finding.  Just to give them  away.  But I had the privilege of having her live out her last days with us.

Doug blessed me so much by saying he wanted her to stay with us. Our chidren were now all married.  She had a short stay in a nursing home and after about two weeks Doug told me he couldn't handle the depressing atmosphere she was surrounded with so we brought her home with us. This blessed me so much because it truly was the deepest desire of my heart to have her in my care even though it was hard since she now was completely unable to do any thing but sleep and wait for her time to be ushered home with the Lord.
We spent much of the time preparing her for her new home in heaven.  And helping her to think heavenly minded.

The doctor told us that she would only be with us for a short time mabey a few short monthes.  While she still could understand pretty clearly I sang songs of Gods love untill she learned them and we started singing these hyms and praise songs together.  She always loved harmonizing and singing when she was in church with us and her favorite song of all was Amazing Grace.  This being the way she felt after she so sweetly asked Jesus to come into her heart and take over her life way back in the early 80"s. Even though she was in church for many, many years She had never experienced this newness in Christ through being Born Again. Ultmately this changed her life entirely.

We spend many happy days and nights till the time came when she fell into a deep sleep and never really woke again till one early morning she began gasping for air in her sleep.  I realized her heart had just quit but every thing else continued till there was no more life. Silence filled the room while I said my final and last goodbys to someone I loved as "Mother" all of my life.
For many days and weeks and many monthes I could feel nothing but the emptyness my heart felt.  I would never see her running around fixing, mending, shopping doing favors for the family,
 Or just popping in for one of her visits to drop off a special treat of cake or cookies hot from the oven,.  My best friend was gone. And now the word Forever had a very painfull sharp meaning that stabbed deeply as I longed to just call her as I did for so many years catching up on news and sharing the Lord togather. And hearing the wonderfull things Jesus was doing in her daily life.

Healing slowly began to come as the monthes went by and I noticed my pain was not as severe as in the beginning. Still heartbroken because I missed our special times together I now was entereing into a season of realization that Heaven was now her home.   She now is perfectly healed and happily able to see and spend time with all her loved ones friends and most of all her beloved JESUS!

He heals the broken hearted.  Jesus is the Healer!  I recall another scripture that reminds us that Weeping  may endure for the night, But Joy cometh in the morning.

 Thankyou for the mornings we can see and feel your love RE-filling  our hearts and lifes Anew as you Oh  Lord...... Heal... the Brokenheated!....Whatever you are going through today or mabey down the road of your Life.  Always know to call upon the name of Jesus and ask Him to heal your broken heart.!!  Weeping may endure for the night but Joy cometh in the morning !!   Jesus Loves YOU!!!
