Grandpa….. He is gone from us now. We could say simply Grandpa was Grandpa or Great Grandpa or Great, Great, Grandpa. I guess he would have liked that most…… But he was a father a brother and a husband for many years. And this is a challenge to say the least for any man. We should look into his heart. See him in those times he showed us his love. He had a passion, he was a fighter. And this was his best legacy to us all. We each have our own destiny and Grandpa lived a good life with a well intentioned heart. He loved us all and his passion was to see us do well. That Grandpa died peacefully is evidence that he was ready. This is a great lesson to us all. Grandpa always taught us. So let's not miss this very important life lesson. No on is guaranteed another day. And we all sin. So let's take this lesson from him. He died a good death. He finished strong. With love in his heart for his wife, family and friends. And a peace that the Creator God loved him, because he asked the Lord God Jesus Christ to save him from this sinful world. And our Lord God Jesus Christ will have his arms open for his good and faithful servant that did his very best in a hard challenging and imperfect world. This reminds me of a conversation, a debate I once read. A debate any of us could have as Christians and one that I know Grandpa won. It's called a conversation with death. CHRISTIAN: Hello, Death, my old enemy. Have you come to talk to me again? To frighten me? I am not the person you think I am. I am not the one you used to talk to. Something has happened. I have changed. Let me ask you a question, Where is your sting? DEATH, would say sneeringly: My sting is your sin. CHRISTIAN: I know that, Death. But that's not what I asked you. I asked where is your sting? I know what it is. But tell me where it is. Why are you fidgeting, Death? Why are you now looking away? Why are you turning to go? Wait, Death, you have not answered my question. Where is your sting? Where is my sin? What? You have no answer? But, Death, why do you have no answer? How will you terrify me, if you have no answer? O Death, I will tell you the answer. Where is your sting? Where is my sin? It is hanging on that tree, that cross there. God made Christ to be sin-my sin…… When he died, the penalty of my sin was paid. The power of it was broken. I bear it no more……Farewell, Death. You need not show up here again to frighten me. God will tell you when to come next time. And when you come, you will be his servant…… For me, you will have no sting. Scripture says: O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:55-57) When someone passes we pray & hope that they are at peace. We ask did I offend, was I offended? Do I hold anything in my heart that is unresolved? Grandpa would say now, all that has passed…… Lay your concerns at the foot of that cross….. Lighten your load as much as you possibly can in this world. Christ died for our sin and he rose again conquering it so you would not have to feel this pain but rejoice that this man is no longer suffering the hardships of this world. We have all suffered to learn and with that comes pain. Both physical and emotional. But I would venture to say that Grandpa would not want us to grieve so much anymore but to feel joy that he is in a better place with those that preceded him into the glory beyond this world. Grandpa accepted the fact that the Lord God Jesus Christ died for our sin and that he conquered it with his sacrifice. That Grandpa repented of sin is a certainty because he died a good death not fearing it but using it as a doorway to a glorious place in heaven. I count myself very privileged to have witnessed such an awesome miracle. A miracle that is available to us all through The Lord God Jesus Christ. This is what I believe Grandpa wants us to see.

Grandpa, I miss you so much you were a good man. I know you are in haven now looking over us. Ariana misses you so much you always watched over us and always asked if I need a ride. At you last 2 years when we spent a lot of time together you were helping me a lot. I appreciate everything you did for us. You know what was going to happen. And you got down on you knees and asked for forgivness. I said to you are a good man you never let us go hungry we always had shelter. You also toke me in and raised me thank you for everything. The last few days of your life I could not stop crying. And when I saw you in your coffin I couldn't believe my grandpa was gone. When I sat down I couldn't breath when my cousins toke you to you final resting place is were I saw everyone you know. Everyone loves you and to see that was a blessing… Love, Anna
