Tonight Charlotte, Tim and I were blessed to see the passing of our mom. We are so thankful that Mom knew the Lord as her Savior and went from earthly body to heavenly body in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).
We know for a fact that she is now out of pain and discomfort and is now present with the Lord. (2 Cronicles 5:8) And that as a believer of Christ she will find rest as she lay in death. (Isaiah 57:2)
She now has her own mansion or more likely a small private cabin that Jesus has prepared for her and I am positive it has a beautiful view of mountains and streams and lots and lots of wild animals to see. (John 14:3)
Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death. (Psalm 68:20) Even though she has left her earthly body behind , she is alive and well in Heaven waiting for us to join her to praise God.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your prayers and support during this sad but joyous occasion.
Merry CHRISTmas!

I am sad for your families loss, but happy that you have found peace. My grandmother also passed the day after Christmas and it is so great to know that they are in Gods good grace and no longer in any pain. I am here for you always.
