Saying goodbye and hearing hello

We have had a year of goodbye's. It started with Grandpa Frank and walking him through hospice and into heaven and then Grandpa Charlie the next week. What an honor to have two men so invested in my life spiritually but not related physically. My kids tried to tell someone they they weren't really related but that it didn't matter anyway cuz all they remember was calling them Grandpa. In fact Baihley had a friend in school who also had the same relationship with Charlie and so they decided if they called him Grandpa, that must make them cousins. Those kind of special relationships are special because of the bond we have in the Lord.
It's been almost a month since I went to see Sue and she headed for heaven the next day. What an honor and what a privilege. Tomorrow we have a luncheon for so many of those special people; with parts of their hearts in heaven. I hope that you find someone to reach out to this Valentine Day that has lost an earthly love and remind them of the love of God.
What is there about sharing love that goes beyond the Valentine's and cards? It's a part of the heart. Go out and make a difference and don't let it stop when February 15th rolls around. Love really is 24/7 and 365 days!!!!
