#102 The End

Of her suffering.

My grandmother passed on at 7.10am this morning.

Watching her get off the blood pressure drugs and losing strength was the toughest thing I have ever done in my whole life.

At that moment I wished I had died with her. But I guess I have to move on.

A big thanks to Jason/Puppy for attending the wake with me, for taking my crap, my tears and for sharing with me about her being in a better place. I feel much better, even though the tears still come.

The wake will be on till monday, before the procession to the temple and subsequent cremation.

Anyone who wants to can come for a visit. Just drop me an sms. My phone died but I have a replacement phone ready.

I prayed for her soul; my grandmother had not yet received the Lord into her life when she passed on. I hope everyone who sees this can help me pray for her soul.

Tomorrow's another tough day ahead.

*Edit*

Thank God for the regular emails.


Friend, Don't Look Down


Years ago, a young sailor went to sea for the first time.

Soon after their departure, his ship encountered a heavy storm and the sailor was commanded to go aloft and trim the sails.

About three quarters of the way up, the young sailor made the mistake of looking down.

The roll of the ship combined with the tossing of the waves made for a frightening experience.

The young man started to lose his balance.

At that moment, an older sailor underneath him shouted, "Look up, son! Look up!"

The young sailor did as he said -- he looked up and regained his balance.

Similarly, when our focus is on the circumstances that we face, the waves of life, we can easily lose our balance and our direction.

But when we switch our focus on to the victory that the Lord has already provided -- it is then that we will be able to maintain our stability, finish the assignments we've been given and get to the top!

Friend, are you feeling unstable today? Let's look up! There's no reason to look anywhere else -- Look to God, He will give you victory !

Psalms 98:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

I will look to You.
