A while ago, we “adopted” this song as our Family Song.
How We Love ~ Beth Neilson Chapman
Life has taught me this
Every day is new
And if anything is true
All that matters
When we're through
Is how we love
Faced with what we lack
Some things fall apart
But from the ashes new dreams start
All that matters to the heart
Is how we love
How we love
How we love
From the smallest act of kindness
In a word, a smile, a touch
In spite of our mistakes
Chances come again
If we lose or if we win
All that matter in the end
Is how we love
How we love
How we love
I will not forget your kindness
When I needed it so much
Sometimes we forget
Trying to be so strong
In this world of right and wrong
All that matters when we're gone
All that mattered all along
All we have that carries on
Is how we love
At about 9:45 tonight, Mom fell into the more immediate embrace of God’s Love. Dad and all three of her children were with her ~ loving her, just like she taught us.
My thoughts, my prayers, and my love are with you and your family. May God's love embrace you all and fill you as he has your mother. Love you all so much. -Jake

ReplyDeleteTommie touched my life and the life of my daughter, Kate, profoundly. I will remember her at Lutheridge, in communion with other women and the women of her family. Her legacy is large.
