My mom came to me! In my dreams that is!
I remember after my grandma died, my mom told me she'd pray God would give her dreams of her mother. And He did. She had many wonderful dreams of my grandma.
I've been praying the same thing, asking God to give me sweet dreams of my mom.
Last night my prayer was answered!
I dreamed I was at my aunt Becky's house and all the family was there. I was down stairs and looked up to see my mom coming down the stairs toward me. We embraced tightly in a long hug. The embrace felt so real, it was so sweet, so warm, so deep...
She pulled back from me and said, "let me see my ring." She took my right hand and held it in hers looking at her wedding ring that I now constantly wear.
I asked her "mom, are you sad that you no longer wear this ring? That you're no longer with us?"
With tears of joy streaming down her face she responded, "no, I'm so proud of you and feel blessed you now wear my ring and carry on."
In my dream I told her, "well mom, one day I'm going to put down your ring and join you in heaven." She was nodding her head saying, "when you put the ring down is when we'll see each other again."
I woke up with tears on my cheeks and my pillow damp.
Immediately I praised my Lord for this wonderful dream! What a loving, caring heavenly Father I have! He is worthy of all praise and glory.
I believe this dream is an answer to prayer.
Yesterday was a very tough day for me. Darkness clouded my heart, a shadow swept over my mind and loneliness crept in, cold and ugly.
I picked up the sword of Truth and quoted Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
I fixed my mind on what is true- I'm a child of the most High King, on what is lovely-one day I'll be walking in heaven with my loved ones, and on what is excellent and praiseworthy-my God is a great God and worthy of all praise and honor.
Light pierced my dark mood and peace and joy took it's place.

What a special blessing, Jennifer! God is indeed good and answers our prayers exactly as we need.

Our father knows just what we need and sends us those very special comfort measures when we need them most. What a strong woman of faith you are becoming. You are carrying on your mother's legacy of faith and godliness.
Isn't the Lord wonderful to give us those sweet dreams? I love it when I dream of my mother. She went to heaven almost 30 years ago and it is so comforting to see her in my dreams. I know she is so much better off than me, but I still miss her so. You had a special mother and isn't it such a blessing to know she's with our Lord.
Jennifer, I am proud you wear the ring I gave your mom too. You will honor our love well.
Love, Dad
