My Grandmother

Death is a hard subject for a lot of us.  I've found that in some ways my children deal with death better than I do.  My Dad's mother passed away on January 31st and today we are having a celebration of her life.

As with any death I find comfort in knowing she is in heaven as we celebrate her life here on earth.

 
In the Lutheran church the first Sunday in November is All Saints Sunday.  We celebrate the lives of those who have gone before us.  One song we sing is "For All the Saints".
 
"For all the saints, who from their labours rest,
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed.
Alleluia, Alleluia."
 
Rest in peace Grandma.
