Stepping into Glory!
Today is a day with many mixed up emotions....grief is one, but at the same time there is joy, thanksgiving, relief, excitement, and even anticipation. My father turned 92 on Saturday. I don't know if he was aware of it or not, because his body has been slowly shutting down over the last week or so.
At 1:50 a.m. this morning (EDST), Dad breathed his last breath in the body that had held him captive for the last few years. That statement makes me sad, because I miss him and it is hard to say goodbye. But, realizing that he is released to enjoy Jesus' presence and we will see him again there when we leave this world....glory!
The thing that I kept hearing about Dad in the last little while was how peaceful he was. That was a specific answer to prayer. Especially in the last hours as it became more difficult for him to breathe....he still remained calm and quiet. He didn't seem to have any pain.
There are so many things that I am thankful for right now....can I share a few?
* I am thankful for my Dad's life and the example he gave all of us of what it means to live your life for God. He was faithful to God, to Mom and to all of us--a truly godly man.
* I am thankful for God's provision for my parents to live in a place that has offered them the care they have needed at different stages--particularly the good care that Dad had in the health center for the last three years.
* I am thankful for the hospice group that provided extra care for Mom and Dad over the last 6 months
* I am thankful for my siblings who have selflessly gone to be with Mom an Dad at various times to give added support--it was so comforting to know that even though I couldn't go, Mom and Dad were not left alone. (and we know that even when WE couldn't be there, God NEVER left them alone)
The memorial service has not been scheduled yet, as Monday morning has barely started in the US ....but I already have reservations to arrive on Friday evening and hopefully all my other siblings will be able to gather by then as well. Thanks for your prayers for our family at this time. We really appreciate you.
