Whose Love Continues So Deep...

My Precious "spiritual Mom" :)

This beautiful lady came into my life... she will never exit it!!! She is with our Lord dancing, singing, praising  of all the beauty He created here-around her family and for her family and friends. I was maybe a small role in her life-but she is one lady who never acted like that. Even with Dementia she somehow NEVER forgot my name-and with the visits I made mind you -they were all as many as possible from out of state. That is a Christ-Like heart connection if you ask me. She knew some of my pain in life-and she wanted to be a mender... as she saw that was how I was for her. I always visited to bring upon happiness and excitement. And she always showed so much more. I am proud to call myself her daughter.... I can feel her smiling in my heart as I type this. He Celebration of life today was more than just a celebration... it brought up all years of amazing moments that many never knew about. From family, friends, neighbors, strangers... she never did one thing but make sure people knew about who brought her here to bring these four amazing kids to her life.... bring her to this world just to enjoy til she moved on to the REAL WORLD of God's Eternal. She made sure all heard about Jesus!!! AMEN!!
I always write poems in tough, blessed, amazing times... she was one of each.... I was blessed to meet so much of her family today... amazing gifts I can call each....
Thank you Libby for being an amazing friend--to bring me in to this moment that is so Godly and touching.

Here is the poem... Libby... I am not connected to all in your family... please forward this to Suzy and Bill!!! And whomever you think would enjoy to keep.....

With much love....

Poem for Miss Barbara T Baker ... my spiritual mother... same first name as my physical mom!!  :)
Whose Love Continues So Deep....

I never thought I’d meet a friend 
Whom I could call my “Mom”
A lady full of beautiful love
So ALIVE FOR ALL with no end


She was always full of Jesus
 Always steadfast, very faithful
 Precious Barbara is now dancing Above
 With Christ who knitted her true soul!

Mom had THE one of a kind personality you see
 Truly full of patience, truth, her love so Devine
 Devine to our Creator Jesus who led her to love me!
I always loved it when she’d say to me “ you are mine!”

She has 4 very amazing creations, 3 I’m meeting this very day
 Mom blessed me with her first-Libby as a friend I am so grateful for!
 She had a lot of character, humor, love and true faith as a Mom I say
 Our outings all together were a blast, faith filled laughter-wanting more!

I saw Barbara’s changes over the coarse of the years
Her faith grew so strong yet her body more delicate and weak

 Even with the illness I had-while visiting her one time in tears
She knew how to set me straight with Christ- saying “continue to seek!”


We would take her to lunch and she’d ask little me to pray
Pray for her mood to be lifted from all anxiety and fear
That was the first time we met, knowing each other would never delay

 Holding hands, closing eyes & praying to our Lord Jesus who is ever so dear!

Jesus so dear to bring her to this world and bless her with such gifts, not strife
She raised them well and brought them joy -as they do to me each day as well!
I was just so blessed to be a small part of her beautiful, intricate life
One amazing woman, my friend who loved me so much one and loved to tell!

So Miss Barbara this is Hetty, I know you see me and can always hear
 I miss you so much, that amazing bond we formed... But I know it never fades
You see me living near your sweet Libby now which put you at peace, no fear
I will keep her laughing as you did mom, knowing you’re less than a blink away

Earth was just a pit stop
A place to learn and have some fun
Up to Heaven is THE REAL THING
 Praising God and being thrilled goes on and on

So everyone pull up the shield of faith
 Knowing you only win thru love
 Miss Baker was that perfect shield
Which is why she is smiling from Above

 I love you mom.... Miss Barbara 

Isaiah 30:21  Whether you turn to the right or the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it." 

1 Corinthians 15:55  "Where O death is your victory,  Where O death is your sting?"

John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”

Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

John 11:23-26 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 10:27-29 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.” (Jesus speaking)

Romans 8:38-39 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 14:8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.

Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

 ”When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God’s love.” ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
