I woke with today’s verse on my mind. Today is the day we lay my Aunt to rest, but that is really for those of us she left behind. The moment she took her last breath she was already present with the Lord. My heart smiles through the tears as I recall Christmas dinners at her house and a salad she made that is still one of my favorites to this day. It’s funny how our minds remember the little things and they become so big. My daddy died when I was three months old, so that side of the family has always been my connection to him. The ones who knew him are dwindling with time and my heart mourns, but it smiles at the reunion going on in heaven. One beautiful day, I will meet them all again, including the daddy I never knew. How awesome that we serve a God that allows us to come to Him with the assurance of where we will when we die when we commit our lives to Him, best decision I’ve ever made. Tomorrow is not promised, don’t put that decision off for one second. If you have not made it, He’s calling you today. 💛 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal
