The Strongest Woman I Know

My mom, Janice, has been hospitalized since Oct. 21st, and she has gone through so much in her life, but yet has an astounding faith in God!  She loves Jesus so much! 
  The other day when I was visiting her, she was laying there with her hands almost solid black and blue from IV's, ect... bruises on her arms and chest.  She bruises very easily because of prescription drugs she is on.  She was laying there talking about how she was in pain, but Jesus hurt so much more when He was on the cross, for us.  Mom often thinks about Jesus in her pain. 
  She was going down a bus ramp and was thrown from her power chair less than 2 years ago.  She crushed her knee and broke her femur bone.  In the waiting area before surgery(she was very high risk), she was in so much pain, and she cried out, "Jesus, I can't imagine how much you must have hurt.  I love you, Jesus!"  I started crying right there.  Here she was thinking of Jesus in her pain.  The tears are flowing as I write this...  She made it through surgery after being sent to ICU to be stabilized for a few days, and was once again, a miracle.  She has several health issues to deal with. 
  Mom hasn't walked for around 10 years.  She began having Rheumatoid Arthritis around the age of 30.  She has been such a witness for Jesus, through her trials.  She has been a miracle so many times, praise God!
  When Jesus comes in the sky, soon, mom will be made new, and I believe will be one of those running to meet Jesus.  She will be one of those who will run the quickest, and jump the highest, right into His arms!
  Revelation 21:1-4 says, " Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” 
  Mom loves to hear Rhema Marvanne sing, so here is one of her songs! 
  Thank You, Jesus, for taking so much pain for me, and for the person reading this.  I love You Jesus!  I love You, Heavenly Father and Holy Spirit!  Thank You, that You are helping mom! 
  I pray for her complete healing, which would go viral around the planet, but only if it's Your will.  In Jesus' name, amen.  God has perfect timing, although we don't always see it that way for awhile. 
  I appreciate your prayers for her also.
  God's best 2 U,       Joy J
