Today God received into His arms His good and faithful servant, my grandfather.
After a long horrible illness, grandpa is finally home, having shed his old tent and put on a new one, a form that will not wither and waste away, but sustain him in perfect health forever. (2 Cor 5:1)
It is difficult . . . to think that he is no longer here with us. But he leaves behind a testimony, a life led by love, filled with good works, an example worth following in a world where precious few examples are even remotely decent.
Until we see you again, grandpa, I will strive to follow in the footsteps of the Christ-like love and obedience you leave behind.
Praise God for the time we had together with grandpa, for the wonderful memories of this godly--and often humorous--man.
Amen.
