grandma

During these past 2 weeks I have been reminded of the great blessings of family. It started with a week long family reunion in Michigan. I'll be sure to post more about the week later, but for now something else...
The blessings continued this week as I had the opportunity to spend this week with my parents at our cottage. I planned the trip over a month ago and little did I know then that the timing of the trip would be the perfect chance for me to visit with my grandma in the nursing home. We are pretty sure she is facing her last few days here on this earth and although this brings sadness, it also brings reminders of God's promises. I know she will be going to the place God has prepared for her. She will be seeing Jesus face to face. And I know her broken body will be restored!
My mom and I have been sharing scripture and song lyrics back and forth that have been encouragement to us over the last few days so I thought I'd share some:

Christians never say goodbye
We only move to our home up high
Free from pain...with Jesus we will reign
______

When we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus
We'll sing and shout the victory!
______

Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. -Psalm 84:10
______

If you are reading this, please keep my family in your prayers at this time.

***I realized after I posted that I should mentioned this is not the same grandma who I previously posted about. She is doing better and recovering well.***
