No one could have known it at the time but the next morning this sweet grandpa went home to be with the Lord. And though his family is grieving, I cannot imagine the peace this moment must bring them. Knowing that one of the last things he did was worship the Lord he was about to meet. They will get to see him again someday in Heaven, but in the meantime what a beautiful memory they will have to hold onto.

I know that in times of pain and missing those I love, memories like this one are the ones that get me through. Do you have a valued memory like this with a late loved one you could share with us? I've got to say knowing that the last thing I did here on Earth was praise the Lord would give my heart so much peace in going to meet Jesus! I think I would sing ‘Why Me Lord.' What hymn would you sing?
