In His arms

My Grandma passed away on February 1st, 2009. She was an amazing women that I will always treasure. She was a wonderful example of the kind of Christian lady I desire to be when I am old. Though her death was somewhat sudden, it was not unexpected! See, she was given 6 months to live back in August of 2008. She was within 3 weeks of that 6 month time frame. She will be sorely missed, but I rejoice that I know I will see her again! For today, she is face-to-face with Jesus!

I, however, am in His arms! He carries me as I grieve the friendship I have lost. Ya- she was my Grandma, but she was also a good, trusty friend. He carries me as I cry for the relationship my children will never have with her. And, as He carries me, he whispers in my ear reminders of the good times I had with her, the relationships my boys WILL have with other people, and the JOYS that await me when it is my time to go through the pearly gates.

Our God is an awesome, comforting, spirit lifting God! He brings us peace when our heart is broken. HE casts our broken heart and makes it whole again!! I am so thankful that I know this God. I can not imagine the pain I'd feel without Him!!
