On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Uncle David

Lizanne called and told me that Uncle David had died as she was waiting for Hospice to arrive and handle everything. She told me, with joy, how he passed into the next world. I know that saying that she said this 'with joy' sounds weird, but there is a difference when someone dies who had loved the Lord his entire life. She went on to tell the whole story. She said that Uncle David had more pain yesterday but he was able to sleep off and on. She said he woke up and looked around the room. He saw something, smiled and said 'yes', and then he was gone.

David had Lizanne and John with him in this world, and in the next, he saw someone who he was happy to see, and he left us to be with them.

Lizanne and I know that David loved Jesus his entire life. Paul says, in the Bible, that absent from the body is present with the Lord. We are so comforted and not as sad as most might be. We know David is home and surrounded by love.
