Day 19: See You Again

Today we celebrate the life

of a

Woman~

a doctor

a mother

a grandmother

a friend.

The mother of my precious

Sister in Christ.

She is in our Savior's Arms,

in her new permanent home.

She arrived.

Today we celebrate her life

and say

"See you later"

for that day

when

OUR LORD

calls us home

and we will all be reunited together.

To say

THANK YOU GOD

right now

aren't the words

I would choose to say

in this time of loss.

But what if

just what if

at times of loss

at times of trial

at times of sickness

at times of hurt

we say

Thank You God ~

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying,

nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4

Thank You God ~

that

Everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. John 11:26

Thank You God ~

that

You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. Psalm 56:8

Thank You God

that

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4

Thank You God

that

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4

Today is a day

we celebrate

Fanny

and

say

THANK YOU GOD

for

this precious woman

who left a mark on all our hearts

and one day

we will see again~

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18
