"A time to be born and a time to die..."

     I have tried to write this post...about four times now...and I still find myself confused on what to say. Do I say he was a good man, because that's just what they always say? Do I say he was a sick man, because that's how I remember him? Five years of struggling with Alzheimers...do I say that I'm relieved, because I am glad he's not in pain anymore? Seeing someone leave this life is something that sticks with you. Do I say I'm sad? Yeah, I'm sad for myself and my family. Do I say I'm happy? Yeah, I'm happy for him. Saturday, January twenty-first my Grandpa passed away. He had twenty-five grandchildren and he still found time to make me feel special. Eighty-seven years is a life to be proud of. One thing of which I am certain; I am SO glad he loved Christ. 

     This song has been on mind and in my heart a lot recently. Music describes how I am feeling a lot better than words can. 

Weak and wounded sinner

Lost and left to die

Oh, raise your head, for love is passing by

Come to Jesus

Come to Jesus 

Come to Jesus and live

Now your burdens lifted

And carried far away

And precious blood has washed away the stains, so

Sing to Jesus

Sing to Jesus

Sing to Jesus and live

And like a new born baby

Don't be afraid to crawl

Remember when you walk sometimes you fall, so 

Fall on Jesus

Fall on Jesus

Fall on Jesus and live

Sometimes the way is lonely

And steep and filled with pain

So, if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then

Cry to Jesus

Cry to Jesus

Cry to Jesus and live

Oh, and when the love spills over

And music fills the night

And when you can't contain your joy inside, then

Dance for Jesus

Dance for Jesus

Dance for Jesus and live

And with your final heartbeat

Kiss the world goodbye

Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and

Fly to Jesus 

Fly to Jesus

Fly to Jesus and live
