My Grandma


My grandma is caring.
My grandma is a wonderful mother.
My grandma is always there.
My grandma is an excellent listener.
My grandma has a great memory.
My grandma loves purple.
My grandma is generous.
My grandma is my friend.
My grandma loves Jesus!

And while it may only be a few days before she sees Jesus face to face, I know that He is excited to have her home. I know that He will take care of her and I know that she will finally be happy, healthy, and comfortable.

Today I had a chance to talk with grandma about Heaven. She is so excited to see Jesus! She only wishes that she could somehow give us a message of how perfect it is once she's there. I know that she is ready to leave this Earth behind and to be with her son. It's going to be hard on the rest of us as we lose someone so special and so dear to us, but isn't it a comforting fact knowing that she is going somewhere so much better than here?!

May God give all of us strength in these final days as we prepare to say goodbye. I love my Grandma!
