Preparing

We are in the final preparations for tomorrow's service. I'm praying that all the picky little details will work out. I'm kind of bummed one of my uncle's won't be here..oh well..We have on cd my Dad singing "Let Us Break Bread Together On My Knees." Also, my folks and me singing "The Gift of Love." Both are from 1980.

My Dad's sister, Aunt Jeanette and her husband Cutler are arriving today from Carmel. We have no real clue as to who might come to the service. It's up to the Lord on that one..on all of it..

Here's something Emily has written..

I don't want to see you leave, but I know it hurts to stay. I love you too much to let you go, but I'm at peace 'cause I know you are with God. The time we had, the love we shared, I can let it go away.

I want to be with you, in the Heaven that you've found. I want to be near you, hold your hand and say, "I love you."

This world is an empty shell, compared to where you are. A shining light, free of pain, where darkness has no hold. A place of lasting love with Jesus by your side.

You held fast to the truth in your heart, loving us all as Christ loved you. Sing there for me with Him, keeping a place for me close to you. I can only pray, only hope, I live a life as full as you have.
