I have been so many places the last few days, including both Goshen General Hospital and now home.  My grandma continues to deteriorate, albeit slowly.  But as I am well-traveled, she has stayed put.

But where she is going is so much more significant the the places I am traveling to a fro.  And in the midst of it all….all the pain, all the sorrow, all the stress, I find great comfort in the fact that all of this is not about me at all, or even those around me…..it is about her and the Lord.

Sometimes we just need to reframe things to see what has been in front of us all the time.  From my first memories in Church to even now, we talk about and prepare for this point.  And our faith at this point is more important than even here, because it is here that it finds its ultimate meaning.

But I thank God I need not let my heart be troubled.  My grandma is at the end of this short life, and will enter into heaven quite soon.

Thank God for that…..and than God for the reminder that I seem to need now more frequently.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
