IF YOU KNEW

Today I travel to my mom's funeral. Recently I heard Sheri Easter tell how she came to write the song she loved. A preacher said if you died today what would be the one thing you would have others say about your life. She wrote I love Jesus. I love my church, I love my husband, I love my children, I love my grand children, I love gospel music, I love to sing...... She realized every sentence began with she loved and she thought these two words are the greatest things anyone can ever say about my life. Those words belong to my mother as well...SHE LOVED... I talked to my mom the day before she died and the first thing she said to me was I love you and the last thing she said to me was I love you. The first thing I said to her was I love you and the last thing I said to her was I love you. My mom 's last request to me was to sing at her funeral. She picked the song...because she loved..... these are the words she wanted her loved ones to hear......If you knew where I was resting, If you could see the sights I see. If you could hear the angels singing the songs they sing eternally. If you could see the one I'm holding, could see the smile He smiles at me. If you knew where I was resting you would not cry for me.I know you're confused because I left so soon, but I'll be right there to meet you maybe morning, night or noon. And I will save a place for you right beside the crystal sea. If you knew where I was resting you would not cry for me. I''m resting in the precious arms of Jesus, no other place would I rather be and if you shed a tear please don't shed it for me. If you knew where I was resting, you would not cry for me. Because He Loved, LINDA
