I Go To Prepare A Place For You

My mother died three weeks ago in the hospital after two major surgeries and complications.
She asked me so many times to take her home, and as much as I would loved to have been able to grant that request to her it just was not possible because of the level of care she needed.
The night she died I sat by her bed and held her hand and told her about this verse in Scripture..
I explained to her that our home on earth was only a temporary one and was destructible.. And that Jesus had gone to prepare a place especially for her, a permanent home where she would live in peace and comfort for eternity.
John 14:1-6
1 "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
Be at peace mum, believe in God and believe in Jesus
2 "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, Would I would have told you; that I go to prepare a place for you?
There are many rooms in our Fathers house mum, and He has gone to prepare a place especially for you.
3 "And when 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.
When He has prepared that place for you mum He will come to take you home with Him and then you will live there with Him forever.
4 "And you know the way where I am going."
You will know the way mum, He will take you.
5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how can we know the way?"
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.
Enjoy your new home mum and be at peace with Jesus who loves you so much.
I love you and miss you but one day will see you again..
Much love Lesley
