Its amazing seeing Grandy’s joy and peace in the face of death. We were sitting on her bed today and she said, you know- God’s given me peace. I was scared of dying and then I heard the music to the hymn “Be Still and Know That I am God.” And I realized, its so true. He is God and all I have to do is be still and know that. He is in control. And I wasn’t scared anymore.
What a beautiful picture of God’s goodness in the face of suffering. I went right to my computer and wrote down what she said because its something I want to remember forever. The peace that God has given her to enjoy the days she has life is truly a testament to His provision for his child.
She was very reflexive, talking about her little blue birds (her daughters) and all the things in life she was going to miss. But then she said, but I’m going home. She is holding on to God’s promise that this world is not our home and that one day we are going home to be with our Father, her time is simply coming sooner than ours.
