a woman i knew in church years ago died today. her daughter had gotten pregnant as a teenager and come back to the youth group as a teacher - her testimony was strong and effective. she went to college and married a nice young man and is six months pregnant with her second child. her mother died today after going to the hospital with an intestinal blockage; she had been looking forward to having another grandchild. my sadness is for her daughter and grandson and the grandchild she will never know as well as her close friends. but i know that right now she isn't worried about missing her grandchildren or daughter or her friends. she is in Good Hands and happy.

I LOVE the verse you quoted. i've never read it like that before. that speaks volumes to me in many different ways. i'm sorry to hear about your friend. i love that God has given you this perspective on it all though. miss you.
Jan- Tears pour down my face. When I first heard the news early yesterday I was in a state of shock. It is only now that the reality and finality of it all sinks in. How short and sweet like is, yet we know those we love are in a better place. Thank you for your sweet words.
sweet post and great verse!
