Saying Good-Bye

This morning while at my desk,  I received a telephone call saying my teacher, (who seemed like my mother, sister, best friend) passed on a few hours earlier.  There seems to be a void in my life right now but I know that void is filled with Love.  Human belief tells us we need to grieve and grieve if we really loved someone.  What a laugh!  I can almost hear her say “Rebecca, you’ve got this!”  She would want her life celebrated, not mourned!  As I watch a bird fly out of my sight through the window, it is true with her.  She is just out of my line of vision.

Romans 12:2 says “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — His good, pleasing and perfect will.”  Today, I will celebrate all life!
