She is just starting this journey, we will
have much to witness and what a joy it will be!
A very good friend of mine passed away this weekend, she was
102. She was one hundred and two years on this earth
bringing joy to all of those around her, the sweetest lady, and a treasure to
all who knew her. She had a warm welcome for anyone who came her way, she was an amazing
encourager, a gentle calm in the midst of storms, a blessed friend and a
powerful prayer warrior. Her journey has
been long and hard, short and sweet, a life well lived.
I will miss her, many will, especially her family, they were
dedicated to her. They cared for her in
ways that were above and beyond that which any person could hope to be cared
for. She was well loved. These last years she had wanted more than anything to
go home to Jesus, to be cared for by him, there in Heaven...she is home now and as her granddaughter said, she is dancing with Jesus.
She
has just ended her journey here on this earth, it was much to witness and what
a joy!
On Sunday Pastor Rob spoke a little to the fact that we
graduate from one place to another and we do, we graduate from one level of
schooling to another, from one level of life to another from one level of faith
to another. Yes, life is a series of
graduations.
Brynlee, my little granddaughter is just beginning her journey,
she will celebrate many graduations and we will celebrate with her. Through each step we will clap our
hands in joy. Mary Neumann, my good
friend has just made her last graduation…the biggest one of all. She is being celebrated in heaven, welcomed
in with joy. She is dancing with Jesus.
I love that.
“You will go out in joy and be led
forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all of the trees of the field
will clap their hands.”
Isaiah 55:12
