Untitled Hymn

Mabel Imogene Smith
March 13, 1922 - August 30, 2006
....When the love spills over,
And music fills the night,
And when you can't contain your joy inside... then

Dance for Jesus,
Dance for Jesus,
Dance for Jesus and live.

And with your final heartbeat,
Kiss the world goodbye,
Then go in peace, and laugh on glory's side... and

Fly to Jesus,
Fly to Jesus,
Fly to Jesus and live.

We love you, Grandma. I know you'll be waiting for us in Heaven. For now, go in peace. Find your groom. Dance. Laugh. Worship. It truly is what you were meant to do.

Bj -

Sorry to hear about your loss. Sometimes you mourn and celebrate at the same time and the tears from both blend on your face. Pretty soon you don't know which is which... it's moments like those that we can all rejoice that we have someone who sees both and understands it fully - even when we cannot.

It sounds like your grandma was a marvelous woman... and there is peace in this transition.

I won't say something pithy about seeing her again... for you already know where your hope and her hope is - and that makes me smile.

My concern & joy is with you.

BJ, I was just thinking about you as I read ty's blog and wondering how you were and how your grandma was... I have thought about you often these last few weeks as you were so distressed when ty was home last.
I see now what is up with grandma and send my sympathy to you and your family. Having been there a few times.. The hurt does not go away, but it does get easier.
She is in not pain and happy again.
my thoughts and prayers,
BL
