Stay On the Line

I can write and sing about many things, my beloved mom, now with Jesus for several years, is perhaps the hardest. Separated by many states, on one of the most painful evenings of my life many years ago, mom stayed on the phone with me while I cried, talked, then sat in dazed silence. She sang me to sleep and I awoke the next morning with my phone next to me. She didn’t fix anything. She just sat with me until I was okay enough for sleep to overtake me. I will always love her to the moon and back, because she loved me that way. Stay on the line with the heartbroken, the war-torn, the battle-fatigued, the outcast, the people who can’t get it together, the lonely, the addict. It matters. That’s Jesus you are loving.

This literally made me cry. I think of how many phone calls I had with my sweet aunt Sylvia, and how she always made feel better, and loved.❤
