95 Years to Perfection

Yesterday morning my great grandma completed her life here on earth and began her real journey with Jesus. We were blessed to be able to celebrate her 95th birthday with her last November. My mom and dad have been live in care givers to her since she fell and broke her hip nearly three years ago. They have done a wonderful job! She was such a sweet little lady and had one of the biggest hearts ever! She loved the Lord very much and was a great prayer warrior. Even in the end she would cry out to the Lord to help her. My little sister Amy even heard Granny expressing her love to the Lord during a scary and difficult time by saying these words, "If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus tis now." What faith and devotion!? Her mind was weak, her body was even weaker but her relationship with Jesus never faltered. As loved ones go on before us, I get more and more excited to be in heaven, worshiping at the throne of God with them. We truly are "encompassed by so great a cloud of witnesses". We love you Granny. Thank you for the impact you made on the world and the heritage you left behind!
