Yesterday’s service for Randy is done. In all of it there was so much love, honor, and grace shown. Both boys talked and even the older granddaughter gave her 9 year old speech. God was blessed and Randy was too. 

At a time like this I realize my journey isn’t just mine. It needs to be including my family. All of us who came to support Bonnie and her kids were of vital importance. It was so visible yesterday as the service came together and the dinner followed. Taking everything down made the work simple. My niece and husband were so gracious in hosting the service.

Today my scripture reading was starting  the book of Joshua. Moses has just died and God is telling Joshua to be strong and take courage. Just last Sunday our choir sang this song. Today God seemed to say to share this message with Bonnie. We do feel so abandoned and alone after death yet God wants us to know He has never gone away.  He wants to be strong in us with His tender love and mercy. That’s part of why He gave us His very Holy Spirit to live within us. 

I’ve needed to know this many times in my life and today I’ll share it with one who needs to be reminded. Gods love is to be shared one with another.
