Genesis 24: 67 Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
I especially like how this ends--how Rebekah becomes the comfort Isaac needs after Sarah's death. How special the bond between Sarah and this son, born after she KNEW she would never have a child, must have been! Now Sarah is gone, and Isaac turns to his wife for comfort.
I am apprehensive about the grief I will feel when I lose my mother. She is 91, and I have been blessed to have her for so long without major issues. She lives far away, but she is so important to me. I cannot imagine what it will be like to live without the knowledge that she is just a phone call away. I know she will be in a better place, but I won't be.
Prayer: Lord, comfort those who grieve. Guide my life so that I will be more prepared for the loss of my own dear mother when it happens. Show me the way to find comfort when I grieve.
Amen
It's happened. I miss her, more so here at my brother's home, because she was always here with me. The Lord has been good to both of us, but it's still tough.
