In memory..

His parting words.. If we never meet again down here, we'll meet on the other side..
Yes grandpa we will...

Goodbye Grandpa....

"And then one day, I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to VICTORY,
I'll see the lights of Home and know my Savior lives... "
This song has been going though my head as I think of Grandpa going to his final Home today... Sang it several times yesterday and thought of him there in his hospital bed.. Today really was victory for him even if it leaves us behind missing him... He was a special man to me... He stepped in and became a real Grandpa.... I spent a very special time with him a few weeks ago saying goodbye.... Many memories flood in...
Grandpa, I miss you....

And today's thought....

Take time for the quiet moments for God whispers but the world is loud....

Was above our stairs in the Unit so read it many a morning!

Thought for Today

When you're going through a trial and you feel God is silent, remember the teacher is always silent during the test...

Means so much more as a teacher....
