Grandma Bryant went home to glory last night. I find myself contemplating the balance between grief and joy. Joy mainly because she is HOME-- her journey is over and her true life has begun! I can't even describe how excited I am for her! And yet the tears still come...
I told Melia that Great Grandma had gone home to be with Jesus, and she comforted me by telling me that "God will give her a new body." No idea, other than the grace and wisdom of God through the words of a faithful 4 year old.
Luke 16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. 17 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."
"Lord, give me the faith of a child. Not that I do not believe, but her faith has no expectations, just freedom."

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Phillipians 1:6
2012 Canning list
- One batch raspberry jam- This was evidence of God's protection. I was in such a hurry that I mistakenly picked up to flip a jar whose lid was not secure, dumping a 1/2 pint of HOT raspberry jam all over my hand and arm. Thankfully, I endured a few hours of pain, but did not have near the burn I would expect from dumping sticky boilingness on myself.
- Two batches Pluot Jam
- Two batches Apricot Jam

I was so sorry to hear about your Grandma. It's always so hard to loose someone, even though you know that they are in a better place and are out of the pain they had while living. I'll be praying for your family.
I love how much the children pick up and how they are such a good reminder to us. Im sure even though Melia is younge that she will remember her. And the faith of a child knowing what we get to look forward to!
I'm sorry Denaye! I called mom and Aunt Cindy....I hope that's ok.
Prayers are with your family today!
