It's another new year. Hard to believe. Our lives really are a vapor, as James wrote. We're here for a little while, and...<poof>....we're gone. Today is also the one year anniversary of Dad beginning the process of going home. On this day one year ago, it was a tough day because Dad was getting ready to leave. He was difficult to handle that day. He slept alot. He became immobile at the end of the day. It was confusing to me. It was different from every day I experienced with him for 4 years. I was concerned and nervous, but when I woke up the next morning, the Lord had calmed me. I knew what was happening. It was all so clear. Dad was tired. He was preparing to leave us. The Lord was preparing to receive him. The next seven days were an amazing blessing from God, and then Dad finished his course. It's already been one year. Doesn't feel that way. More like a month or two. The memories are so vivid, so fresh. But all's well. How? Because Jesus is Lord! He's doing just fine!
Happy New Year!
