Miss you already

Dear Grammy:

           We miss you already. Many times in the past few days I have found myself in tears over your absence. At times, though, the sadness fades when I picture your reunion with your sweetheart, papa, and you finally beholding Jesus face to face just like you loved to sing about. 

           I wish I could say thank you for Naomi's birthday present. The party wasn't the same without you. Naomi loves putting little Tinker Bell in the stroller for a walk. But more then that thank you for so many things: the cute little clothes you would always pick up for the girls, the hundreds of great meals you so graciously provided, the after school chats, the great example of how to be a Godly lady, servant, prayer warrior, wife, friend, mother, grandmother...and I could go on and on. As a child I could never have know the wisdom you were imparting through your flannel board lessons in Sunday school. I have no doubt that God is showing you, today, the great tapestry he was weaving through your faithful service and fervent prayers. You touched so many lives, especially mine, and all I can say is thank you. 

        I love you and miss you, Grammy but I know I will see you in heaven someday soon. Until then I will follow your example and gather up people to join us there. I pray that God will give me the same courage and grace you had as I share the knowledge of God's free gift of love and mercy through Jesus Christ, given so that sinful men, like me, can live with him forever in eternity, just like you.

                                                                  With Love,

                                                                              Katie
