1. The Bible will still have all the answers.
2. Prayer will still work.
3. The Holy Spirit will still move.
4. God will still inhabit the praises of His people.
5. There will still be God-anointed preaching.
6. There will still be singing of praise to God.
7. God will still pour out blessings upon His people.
8. There will still be room at the Cross.
9. Jesus will still love you.
10. Jesus will still save the lost.

grandma jean
yesterday, october 31, we laid a dear, dear, wonderful woman to rest. she was an amazing Godly woman who lived and breathed her faith. the words she said and her actions ALWAYS, always reflected her love for God and family. i was honored to call her my grandma for 38 years and in all my life, i will never be able to put into words how blessed i am to be called her granddaughter. she taught me kindness and SHOWED me how to love people. it was her prayer that her children and grandchildren and all those who come behind her, love the Lord ABOVE all else. it is my prayer that i will live all my days, honoring her wish. she was So very loved. i will miss her everyday for the rest of my life. i am comforted to know that she is where she has longed to be for so long.
the service was beautiful. her and gramp had done all the work in planning the funeral, years earlier. this is just one of the little things that she thought of, they didn't want anyone to have to worry about that. :) we were amazed by all the people that came out to honor her. although most of the people her age are gone, she was loved by SO many! young and old! the common consensus's of people was that she was a beautiful example of what a Godly woman is. my dad, uncle dave (dad's older brother) and aunt faye (younger sister) were are wonderful examples of the legacy she left.
we (immediate family) had the privilege of growing up next door to her and gramp. my parents can tell stories of how time and time again, they would 'just happen to be going that way' or 'just happened to have found extra pajamas on sale' or 'just happened' to be doing something to help out. in everything, they were doing their part in helping my folks. as kids, could it be any better? cookies and TANG whenever we wanted, someone to borrow tools from, an extra set of ears whenever we had something on our minds. it's a story book tale of sorts, one would say...one i was so honored to be a part of.
gram, you are loved and missed! we look forward to seeing you soon.
