This is the amplified version of Hebrews 13:5... Isn't it so true?
A week ago, we had a week full of celebrations, but they weren't all what most people would call celebrations.
Monday, January 14, Michael's Mamaw Brewer went home to be with the Lord.
Sunday, January 20, Michael's Papaw Houston went home to be with the Lord.
The thing about losing someone that knows Jesus, is that we have so much hope in the fact, that as Christians, we WILL see them again! Of course there is sorrow with loss, but like Hebrews 13:5 says, God will never, no not ever, no never leave us. The comfort He gave us in that week was beyond words. It's hard enough losing one grandparent, but then 2 in a week of each other...
The services were sweet and can only be described as a celebration of their homegoing!
I love me some Carrie Underwood and her song Temporary Home speaks volumes to me...
Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers
"Don't cry for me, I'll see you all someday"
He looks up and says
"I can see God's face"
This is my temporary home, it's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passing through
This was just a stop on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know
This was my temporary home
Does that not bring a smile to your face? It does mine! This is not our home.
Over that week, not only did we celebrate eternal life, but we also celebrated life here. My Mawmaw had her 80th birthday party. It was quite the event.
After celebrating so many wonderful people, it sure does make us realize how blessed we are.
I, personally, am BEYOND blessed.
