I woke up pondering the word for today (it comes out on Thursday night) and anxious to write on it.
GO.
Depend is the word.
What time is it?
That's the question.
I recently spent some time holding my 97 year old Grandma's hand, talking, singing, and praying.
My Beloved Grandma's eyes twinkled as she heard him talk of Heaven. She twinkled again when she got to sing Amazing Grace with her peers who, like her, couldn't remember all the words but hummed along.
Then we talked about Heaven and Jesus. He knows exactly when it's her turn and she can depend on Him to know what time it is, He is never late. He knows her. He loves her. She can depend on that too.
Stop.
Happy Friday Everyone! I pray you will depend on Jesus to know what time it is, even if you have to wait. And while you wait, sing, pray, twinkle.
I loved your post and the sense of peace your Grandma seems to have found by depending on Jesus. Also this: "While you wait, sing, pray, twinkle"- great advice! Visiting from FMF #22.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture! I hope to feel my dependance on God to the very end.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tribute to your Grandmother and a touching reminder that we can depend on Him. Visiting from FMF.
ReplyDeleteOh, sounds like a day in my mother's life. She is 95 years old, and I enjoy participating in the hymn sing with her at her care facility. Yes, we can depend on Jesus, his timing! Have a blessed weekend.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of the Heavenly Holding Pattern, and I'm dying a lot younger than that.
ReplyDeleteMy days are filled with pain and worse, but in overcoming that, and forgetting to be bitter, there is transcendence.
