Where to begin...there are SO many lessons we have learned, SO much joy we have felt, SO many tender mercies from the Lord we have experienced, so much...so much...so much!
Warren and I had the priviledge to spend the last 18 days at mom's bedside until she left earth and walked (or I should say ran) to Heaven into the arms of Jesus, her personal Lord and Saviour. I say ran because one day I told her that when she saw Jesus to just walk to Him. She replied back to me that she was going "to run to Jesus!"
Mom was SO ready to go to heaven and at times wondered why her earthly body wouldn't let her go!
In her last days she was surrounded by the love and care of her sons: Warren and Johnny, daughter-in-loves: Kathy and Cindy.
She was surrounded by the joy of her grandchildren: Stacey, Chris, Todd, Amy, and Kelley. In there own ways they ministered to mom as mom ministered back to them!
Much delight was brought to her by her great grandchildren: Abbie, Katelin, Parker, Mallory, Isaiah, Grant, Camden, Riley, Kassidy, Dakota, and Macey. They brought her such special joy as they gave her fresh spring flowers picked from her yard, sang to her, read the Bible to her. She delighted in playing "this little piggie" with her namesake, Macey Saramae!
What a godly heritage mom has left behind! And what a precious ordained journey Father God has allowed us to walk these past 18 days. Indeed we have been blessed beyond measure!
