Mother's Mourning Ministry - One Sweet Day ~Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men





When I Lost You

I wish I could see you one more time
come walking through the door
But I know that is impossible
I will hear your voice no more.
I know you can feel my tears
and you don't want me to cry,
Yet my heart is broken 
because I can't understand
why someone so precious had to die.
I pray that God will give me strength
and somehow get me through
As I struggle with this heartache
that came when I lost you.

~Unknown

One Sweet Day

~Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men 



Sorry, I never told you, all I wanted to say.
Now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away, so far away.

Never, had I imagined, yeah, living without your smile.
Feelin' and knowing you hear me,
It keeps me alive. Alive!

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together (together)
One Sweet Day.

(Picture a little scene from Heaven)

Darling, I never showed you, (I never showed you)
Assumed you'd always be there (always be there) (I thought you'd always be there.)
I took your presence for granted. (… for granted)
But I always cared (But I always cared)
And I miss the love we shared.

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven.
Like so many friends we've lost along the way (along the way)
And I know eventually we'll be together (I know I know) (We'll be together)
One Sweet Day.

(Picture a little scene from Heaven) (Oh, oh)

Although, the sun will never shine the same, 
I'll always look to a brighter day (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleep,
You will always listen, as I pray!

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way, (Like so many)
And I know eventually we'll be together (together, Yeah)
One Sweet Day.

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven, (I'll see you eventually)
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together (together, Yes we will…)
One Sweet Day (One Sweet Day)


Sorry, I Never told you (Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo), all I wanted to say...

Celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary!!! - I Could Never Promise You ~Don Francisco








April 7, 1979 - 2014


Celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary!!!









35 years ago, on April 7, 1979,  though it seems like only yesterday, Tommy and I were married at my church, Prince Avenue Baptist Church in Athens, Georgia. We asked one of Tommy's best friends from our graduate school program in Atlanta, Georgia, Mike Turner, to sing in our wedding before we had picked out any of the music. Mike agreed and later came to us with this song that evidently had been written just two years before. We both immediately embraced the song as it reflected the great respect we both had for the kind of love we knew we must have to go into a marriage with God's merciful blessing and protection.

God has since blessed us with thiry-five years of that blessed love that has had its foundation in Him! Tommy has been the most self-giving husband! Although my parents had a wonderfully blessed marriage of sixty-four (64) years, I could never have imagined that our marriage could be so sweet and wonderful. Then God blessed us with our three precious children, all of whom came to know our Lord within the first several years of their lives, each dedicating their lives more fully in their teen years. Our two sons, Rollin (now age 31) and Nathan (now 29), both have very close relationships with our Lord (as does our precious daughter-in-law Stephanie (age 29, almost 30), married to Rollin now for the past five years), and as you all know, Merry Katherine, our only daughter, has now "graduated" into Heaven with her Lord! 

We are so very thankful for all the many blessings our precious Lord has enabled us to enjoy with His help. So tonight, we wanted to share a little of our celebration with you. How nice to not only be able to share our tears with you, but our heartfelt joys as well! Thank you for your love and support over these past 7 1/2 difficult years. May our Lord wrap His arms around you as well, bringing you joy to balance some of the deep sadness in your life.

Thank you for allowing us to share some of our heart with you in a different way tonight. 

~Much love to each of you, and God's sweetest blessings to you and yours.










I Could Never Promise You

Words and Music by Don Francisco, 1977



I could never promise you on just my strength alone
That all my life I'd care for you, and love you as my own
I've never known the future, I only see today
Words that last a lifetime would be more than I could say

But the love inside my heart today is more than mine alone
It never changes, it never fails, never seeks it's own
And by the God who gives it, and who lives in me and you
I know the words I speak today are words I'm going to do

(Chorus)
And so I stand before you now for all to hear and see
I promise you in Jesus' name the love He's given me
And through the years on earth and as eternity goes by
The life and love He's given us are never going to die…

(Interlude)

(Chorus)
And so I stand before you now for all to hear and see
I promise you in Jesus' name the love He's given me
And through the years on earth and as eternity goes by
The life and love He's given us are never going to die
The life and love He's given us are never going to die

Friday's Faith - "One Baby's Impact on the World"







Friday's Faith

"One Baby's Impact on the World"



I don't know about y'all, but I was not really able to enjoy Christmas fully until after Christmas this year. Christmas day this year was sweet as this was the first time since our first Christmas without Merry Katherine that we were able to enjoy having a part of our family over for several hours. Typically, we are so undone, we cannot do festivities of any kind on that day. It is just too sad for us without our baby. As in all the major holidays, it seems I almost have to "hold my breath" right up to the day, and then throughout the day of the actual holiday so that I can just "make it through." Then I can seem to "let down" and process what the holiday is all about. 

So that is why I have continued to celebrate Christmas with you all this week. (And I thank you for indulging me!) It is such a special time to celebrate our Savior's coming, and finally I can "feel" that "comfort and joy" and enjoy the sweet intimacy of Love coming down just for us. Tonight I celebrate the great impact our Savior's coming has had on our world... 





One Baby's Impact on the World






Sweet blessings to each of you today!
