Multitudes on Monday

Thank you all for praying for me and my family. I did make it to see my grandmother and just in time. I got to her at 10:30 PM Friday night and she passed away at 12:15 AM. I am so glad I went, it was worth the travel even if it was for such a short time. 

I appreciate you all so much, you bless me!

Continuing on with Multitudes on Mondays...

11. twenty-five minutes at the DMV :)
12. husband coming home early
13. lovely farmland stretched out for miles and miles of drive

14. brokenness along the way

15. one hour and forty-five minutes with her...

16. reminding her of her place in eternity
17. holding her hand and stroking her hair as she breathes life's last breath
18. hidden pictures in my suitcase

19. compassionate darling daughter who cries for my loss
20. sister's love
21. Kelli... for her faithful friendship and encouraging words 
22. photo memories (can you guess which one is me?)

23. pretty things that die and actually do come back ( my picture doesn't do it justice!)
24. understanding your Sovereignty because it does away with my bitterness and discontentment

Blessings,
Heidi

  4. Love your list, Heidi, and glad to hear that you were able to be with your grandma. I especially like #24. We don't understand why things happen the way they do, but we KNOW that God is Sovereign. We can trust Him.

  10. While I grieve for your loss Heidi, I'm very glad to hear that you made it in time to spend those final moments with her. I have no doubt that your words of comfort and love guided her to God's Kingdom with a smile on her face.

    I pray that the Lord's comfort is felt by you and your family during this difficult time.

    Have a Blessed Day Dear Lady!

  12. Oh, Heidi, I'm so glad you got to see your grandma and be with her. My Mom, 83, is with us to see her first great grandbaby born in the next few days. When these women go, WE will be the women of faith that others look to. Lord, help us do this labor of love!
