"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
Late Sunday evening I received news from home saying that my Aunt Lynne passed away. We weren't super close, but my immediate reaction was to leave for home as soon as possible. All I could think about was being with my family. I was very close to hopping on a plane and heading back to the States. However, after praying, talking, and thinking some more... I felt more at peace about staying than going.
I'm very thankful that I can rest in the fact that she trusted Christ as her personal Savior and that I will one day see her again in heaven. My Aunt had a great deal of health problems for a long time, and for her sake I am thankful that she is no longer in pain. I'm confident that the Lord's timing is perfect and he has it all worked out for His glory!
The Memorial service will be held today in Lincoln. My parents and sister were able to travel out for the service. I would definitely appreciate your prayers for them at this time. Please pray also for my Grandparents. They will have much to do over the next couple of months... please pray for their physical as well as emotional strength. Thank you!
