A Year Ago

A dear mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend, neighbor, daughter, and Sister In Christ left this old world and found that mansion filled with delight.  She found that sweet happy home so bright.  She now dances and sings and praises her Saviour Jesus Christ with a clear voice.  She has Seen. Jesus. Christ.  Oh, how we may miss her... but her happiness is complete.  She knows only JOY!  Can you imagine being always happy and feeling always complete?  And as my mother and uncle and aunt whispered to her in her last minutes here on earth - it will be but a moment before we will see her again.  For our hope is in Jesus, too.  And time in Heaven is nothing like time here.

Granny's children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren spent many an hour in her rocking chair (that now resides in the cry room at my church) listening to the melody of Twilight Is Stealing.  It was our lullaby and a very special song to all of us.  This clip is from her 100th birthday party at her church that was her place of worship the last years of her life while she was living with my parents.  She passed on to Heaven almost a year later - and she has now seen that Mansion.  She lives in that Sweet Happy Home.

I feel I must apologize for the poor recording quality of the clip.  But I wanted my mother and three uncles to see it.  Granny didn't do much singing out loud in the last years of her life.  But she sang Twilight is Stealing on this day.  She sang.

And for those who cry today - I cry with you.  And I smile with you that she is in a Most Perfect Place.



P.S.  If you are having problems seeing the video clip, send me a note.  I'll change the settings.
