Abba Father, I lift Virginia up to you. You understand her sorrow and are present with her in it. Let her know it is OK for her to grieve the loss of her dear mother. You know she believes her mom is celebrating with you now, but that doesn’t mean Virginia doesn’t miss her very much. Sometimes we feel joy and great sorrow at the same time. We can take it all to you! Be her ever present help in her time of need. I know, I went through the same thing not that long ago. But in the midst of it all we have the deep knowledge that someday we will be together forever with you. Let that bring Virginia some comfort in her time of need. In your beautiful name, amen.
