Hope in a Time of Grieving



A couple of weeks ago this wonderful lady (Mike's Grandma) went to be with the Lord. I smile when I imagine her walking and running (she hasn't been able to walk for over 10 years) and praising her Saviour!

"...we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep (have died), so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus." 
---- 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 ----

The above picture was taken just over a month ago when we were visiting Mike's family in Ontario - we are so thankful for those few days we were able to spend with her...not knowing that they would be our last together on this side of heaven.

Mike was blessed to be able to fly back home to be with his family during the weekend of the funeral. He said it was a very uplifting time as they celebrated her life and rested in the joy of knowing she is now with our Saviour.
