It is a very nice day, to nice for funerals if you ask me, my great uncle passed away and today was the day that we commended his body to the ground. Now, out of his siblings there are 3 left. The first funeral that I had ever attended was my great grandmothers funeral. Cecilia Zimmerman Enderle (his mother_she was 99)and i remember all of her children there and now they are all joining her in Heaven. (Alice, William -my grandfather, Elenor are left with us.) I really wonder what they are thinking about it all.
I know that it is really making me think.
No one has ever passed away that I was terribly close to, and that seems to be just around the corner. All of my grandparents are still alive and I still have one Great Grandmother that is.
Casey has only 1 grandmother alive.
Out of my Great Grandparents I have met 3 of my Great Grandmothers...which is amazing-yet none of my Great Grandfathters-proving that stubborness runs through the viens of the women in my family! I have also been there when 2 were laid to rest. It is really humbleing-to know that God is SO much bigger than I.
My Dad has said to me just resently that he wants to know that he has left a legisey behind here on earth when he dies. -That is my prayer today that he truely will. My father is a very godly man and he has raised all three of us up well and he has just brought a new son-in- law into our family and has already started laying foundational stones in his life that will alow us to bring up our children in a right way being steadfast to the Lord. I want to be able to say that when he dies...that we are his legasy that he wants to represent his life after all we are all children of God and we all should want to be that way.
if this did not make sense to anyone else that is ok...it makes sense to me...and that is all that matters.
