ReplyDeleteMay our loving Lord, Jesus Christ, receive Vickey into his loving embrace, erasing all pain and restoring all joy, and reuniting her with all of her loved ones who have gone before, especially her beloved Dan. May our beloved friends rest in peace in the love and presence of God.
ReplyDeleteI'm writing this post well after my sweet Grandma has been laid to rest. I followed the blog along like many did and prayed fervently, violently, and constantly for my Grandma. My mind still struggles to compute that she is not a phone call away for me as I sit here in Knoxville. While in Dothan, after the funeral, I picked up the phone MANY times to call her for lunch or to go antiqueing with me as we always liked to do.
ReplyDeleteGrandma was (and is) someone I always looked up to....she was always in my life since I was a "wee girl" she used to say. She is someone who I pray to be like to be when I grow up; I say this grinning as I will be having my 33rd Birthday in a few weeks. She would have laughed at that comment... :-)
My heart is broken at my loss and our loss as the church. Nevertheless, My God is faithful to "bind up the broken hearted" and He is doing that even now...He is so good to me. I have this assurance (as many of you do) that I will see my sweet Grandma again and that does bring me comfort on some level.
It feels strange to return to this site after she is gone, but I'm writing this mainly to encourage myself in the Lord as I move forward. Also, I hope it encourages others who may stumble upon it. It is a journey we are all on together; we now have to allow the Lord to heal our wounded hearts. I pray we all allow Him to do His work in our lives and we all have a very real sense of His sweet prescence as we move forward toward the high calling of God on each of our lives. To Him be the Glory and Honor Forever! Amen!
