Remembering our Zah Zah

So much has happened over the last few weeks but I want to focus on one day.



On September fourth we laid to rest our Zah Zah. He is now on his heavenly journey and one we will join when our time comes. It's never easy to say goodbye to someone you love and your life has been wrapped up in. It is forever a work in progress. Each day, each prayer and each memory we have takes us closer to making it OK to go forward. We, in Christ, have a promise we can believe in. The promise that one, our Savior Jesus Christ, has gone before us having conquered death to prepare a place we will spend our eternal life. This promise gives us hope when we feel we have been left behind. Left behind because our work on this earth is not finished yet. It is an honor and privilege to be a soldier for Christ. What a wonderful earthly family we have and now the celebration of Zah Zah's earthly death has lifted us towards celebrating his heavenly homecoming. We were a part of his life on earth and he has helped us find our way towards Christ and claiming our heavenly home too! Just stop for a minute and think of all our family prayers, singing with a joy that never ended, the laughter, the lessons, but most of all the love. The love we each were given as though we were the only one in this whole big world. God knew just what he was doing when he gave us our grandfather. The end hasn't come with Zah Zah's death but has only began as his life lives through us and the love he shared with God that was showered on us.



God was the center of his world and because of his faithfulness he is where he should be-with God.

Zah Zah often said, "Each day I wake up I try to a better person than I was yesterday." Are you? Are you listening to the scriptures as a map for your life? Your life is set in motion but it is up to you to steer it in the right direction. You have a destiny. Only you know how your living your life and only you are in charge of your direction. I challenge you to look at your life and if you see one thing that is not as God would have it, stop and pray about it, repent of your action, change your action and do what is right. If you need prayers or help finding your way-your family is here and we are believers in prayer. Do what makes your heart feel at peace and let's walk the path to heaven together.



When I think of Zah Zah and grandma Vernie I think of God and you.



God bless you and keep you close to His side.

Love, T
