Last week, my grandmother went home to be with the Lord. I am going to miss her so much. She was my "marriage counselor". I always seemed to get practical solid advice from her on what my part was in marriage. And she made me a better wife for taking the time to teach me. She was much much more than that through out my life. She was a strong woman. And she loved the Lord.
Something that has caught my attention is people saying to me "I'm sorry you lost your grandmother." It is a normal thing to say, but it got my brain working. And it makes me want to reply back, "I did not lose her, I know just where she is". There must be such heartache for families who have a loved one die, and they truly have "LOST" them. They don't know where they are.
What great peace and joy for our family to know that as soon as my grandma was absent from her body, she was present with the Lord! The preacher at her funereal said "she is not dormant, she is still living and active" I love to think about that. To know that she has met our little sprout! To know that she has seen her mother, and that she is with Jesus!
She has "passed on" but she is anything but "lost". Praise the Lord!
