Grandma's

You just never know when life will change.  So suddenly.  1 week ago, Gma took our lil family out for supper. Just mere days later, she's in the hospital and we wonder what the future holds.  I guess at 86, we know what the future holds....

That hymn has been going over in my mind, "Oh Lamb of God, where ever Thou dost go...."   and another, "Life, life, eternal life"

As I held her hand last night, I really had nothing to say.  There was nothing to regret, nothing but hope for a bright eternal future as I silently prayed that God would just take her.   Your strong, stubborn, faithful Grandma... seeing her frail and weak and in excruciating pain isn't so nice.

So I'm just thankful.  33 wonderful years being spoiled by this Grandma.  She has given of herself so completely and so unselfishly.   We laugh at her stubbornness and her opinionated ways.  However, most of her Godly opinions were just that... Godly.  Upholding the standard... so really, I've realized that they weren't just Grandma's opinions.  They were convictions.  She was convicted and she lived it.  What better testimony to hold?  None.

Grandma... thank you.   I love you, and I can't imagine life without you.
