Heaven is not a place, but a peace. May you be blessed to know your loved one is at peace with the angels, all the generations that came before, and One with God. 

...I will simply and lovingly lift my eyes to the heavens and say, "Thank you". I will live in an atmosphere of thanksgiving to God. I will rejoice always in the bountiful goodness that I receive, and for the privilege I have of giving to others.

I used to be very unhappy. My life wasn't working the way that I was working it. When I began, I looked in the mirror I saw a fully grown and mature woman, but inside I was anything but fully grown.

I decided to go on a spiritual quest and began praying, meditating, and doing some serious self-reflection, every day for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night. My life started to turn around.

When I started praying, I began to recharge my spiritual batteries, my resource and reserve. I couldn't believe the difference it made in my outlook and my energy.

I honor this commitment daily. I'm part of a prayer group every Tuesday night. I observe a day of rest and devote it to the Lord. These new patterns have literally changed my life. Instead of a daily drain, I have a reserve of power to draw upon.

I rely upon God instead of myself.

When you've done everything you can do that's when God will step in and do what you can't do.

2 Corinthians 12:10
