Put on a Garment of Praise ~ Encore’

Today I am reminded of my mom and dad. I miss their zest for life.  Many of you will remember this story. My parents both shared a passion for  Christ, for His redemption, His healing and wholeness.

.  One of my parents Favorite CD’s was The Revival In Belfast.

In 2002, there was a spectacular performance featuring that music at my childhood and home church and they were hooked.

In fact, my sweet mom loved it so much she called me and played it, while holding the receiver next to the stereo so I could hear it.  It was rather hilarious because I couldn’t even hear it.

Finally, mom just bought a zillion copies and gave them to just about everyone she loved, including me.

I too fell in love with it.  

When mom passed away the songs from the CD gave me more comfort than I could have ever imagined.  And during my times of  sadness, it is The  Garment of Praise that stands out among all the rest.

My grief is also layered with the continued persecution of Christians and all who are suffering. Often I cannot help but  feel the loss and grief of my mom and dad as well as the  battle with sadness and depression.

Some times in this old life we can lose heart and feel we’ve lost our way back to a place of joy and happiness.

You might even feel you may never laugh or dance again.
