Hope

Highlight of my night: Grandma puckered her lips to give me a kiss (not initiated by me). It was sweet. A touch of her. Then we had a sweet talk about all the wonderful things that will happen when she's with Jesus. I am so excited for her. And jealous. And sorrowful- but not the sorrow of this world. (oh how my heart would be so broken without hope of the Resurrection- of eternal life because of God's Great Love for us in sending His Son to be the propitiation for our sins!) I know that my grandmom's "life" on this earth is ending- but soon she will be more alive than me. It doesn't mean my heart isn't hurting...but there's still joy and comfort and peace- Thank you Lord!

Tiffany, I could not agree more. How sweet the little moments God gives us to remind us of his faithfulness. I also understand that bitter sweetness you are talking about. That realization that heavan is so close for many and seems so far away for the rest of us. I love you, and you are always in my prayers always!!! :)
