Last night at the funeral home was surreal. I have no idea how many people came through the line, but it was hundreds. HOWEVER, when you are at the END of the line (as my sister Elaine, Drew, and I were), you don’t really get to talk to too many people. TONS of people point at you and talk about you, but not too many actually make it that far to talk TO you. The line was LOOOOONG . . . I have a lot of cousins.
On the other hand, Ebenezer was well-represented in my opinion. One of the first people through the door was Dana (Rose) Lewis. She works just down the road from the funeral home at Greenville Memorial Hospital. It was great to see her! ALSO, the biggest flower in the place was from the EBC staff and church family . . . I rested under it’s shade. I loved it!
Today we get an early start out to my aunt’s house and then to the funeral. It will be a rough day for the entire family, but we will make it. There are many positives concerning the last few weeks AND concerning my grandmother’s life in general, the greatest of which is the fact that Jesus Christ IS her Savior and she is now with Him in paradise. And that is one of the only things holding it all together!!!
Thanks for the prayers! We are doing fine and God is good!
