Also part of life

Little feet, new babies and wonderful moments fill our lives but also part of life is loss. Even in loss, for us, there is joy and hope.

Bruce's father had his "homegoing" in June. When I got the call I was teaching a class at the church. One of the students asked if he could pray for us and our family.

A quiet joy stole in as the vision of the painful life left behind and the perfect life coming dawned in my heart. The relief for him to awaken from his dementia to the glory of God's presence and experience the grace that he had taught became very real to me.

Although it is difficult to see one's parents age and fail, the Dawn for them is just around the corner so it is at the same time, Glorious.
