Last night the 92 year old mom of a good friend earned her wings and this morning my thoughts are filled with her impact on so many of us.
Gramma Annie lived with and was loved by her daughter, Barbie, and her son-in-law, Jim. Whenever and wherever we saw Barbie, we saw Gramma Annie, both of them smiling, both ready with a positive word.
Today I am particularly aware of the legacy we leave when our time comes to leave this earth and our loved ones behind. My prayer is that my life will be a reflection of the One Who created me, nurtured me, challenged me, blessed me and is waiting for me with open arms when I am called home.
I look forward to seeing Gramma Annie again, as I know I will.
Until then, you will be missed by many, dear woman.
"For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: 'Death is swallowed up in victory'. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?"-1 Corinthians 15:53-55 (ESV).
