Today, gathered together as a family, we remember the life of my dear grandmother. Our hearts rejoice in the saving work of Jesus Christ in her life. Through the death Christ died, the physical death of his chosen ones has no power, no might, no grasp on their eternal souls. Hallelujah!

But, although this is a joyful time, our hearts also ache at her departure. Over the course of several years we have sadly observed the harsh hold of Alzheimer's disease bring her to a rapid decline. In my selfish desires I wish I could have had a deeper, fuller relationship with this godly lady.

What it must be like to enter the throne room of Christ and enjoy him forevermore! I envision her now rejoicing in his glory, using her lovely voice to sing endless praises to the King with all her heart and strength. She has a new mind--no longer blurred and hindered by disease--in order to remember and dwell on the glory of God.

Thank you Lord, for an everlasting hope. It does not just end here. Rather, what we see as the end is only the beginning.
