Garment of Praise the Oil of Joy and Beauty for ashes

This is a special weekend for me and maybe the most important for my special relationship with God because I lost my mom this week. 
Maybe go to the bottom and start the song as you read.

Jesus however has her somewhere either eating chocolate, looking for the weeds in His Garden or watching over her family.  Friday My dad and I went to view her and I was actually astounded and how normal she looked she died in her sleep and that is just how she looked like she was sleeping it was beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time.  I was so blessed to have my Pastor with me through it. What came into my heart for this weekend is the following  HE GAVE ME....
Beauty for ashes 





The Oil of Joy for mourning


The  Garment of Praise 
for the 
Spirit of Heaviness


Isaiah 61

New Living Translation (NLT)

Good News for the Oppressed

61 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
    for the Lord has anointed me
    to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
    and to proclaim that captives will be released
    and prisoners will be freed.[a]
He has sent me to tell those who mourn
    that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,[b]
    and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.
To all who mourn in Israel,[c]
    he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
    festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
    that the Lord has planted for his own glory.


Even when things are sad or hard even when things seem totally out of control, Jesus is there and the Holy Spirit pours oil into my wounds.
