Death Is A Natural Part Of Life, Part 2...

Wow........the current time and date: February 20th, 2012, 8:46 P.M.

We just got a call from my aunt. That one hour ago, my Great Grandmother in Michigan just went home to be with the Lord. Mom......my mom was very close to her Grandma, I do not know all of the details, but we were all very close to Grandma. She, was very determined to reach the age of 100, if God allowed her to, I do not know exactly what age she was, nor do I think it's a good idea to ask right now. What's hitting our family, especially my mom, real hard is that her passing was unexpected. I think that in, yet another time, of weeping and sorrow, this Bible verse comes to mind:

Ecclesiastes Chapter 3:1-11 Says:
To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 

Seeing as this verse says, we will weep, for our Grandmother and rejoice for where she has gone.

  2. Yeah, this one was a pretty big shocker. We didn't expect it. And like I said, mom is taking it, pretty tough. But when my grandmother in Texas passed it was different. (See the same titled post about this earlier this month). The fact is, I see she just in a MUCH better place. And plus it's nice to know she doesn't have to worry about this world anymore.
