I Can Only Imagine
As I sat beside my grandfather tonight saying my goodbyes, knowing that he does not have much longer on this earth, it occured to me that I have never been this close to anyone who is this close to actually meeting Jesus face to face. As the sadness of the reality of death hurt my heart to the very core, I realize how I long for that day that I get to meet Jesus face to face. This earth is not our home, we were not created to live here, our bodies are not built to handle this world, we are strangers here in this place. Our home is in Heaven where we will spend eternity with our loving creator, we were created to be with Him in Heaven.
What will that day be like:
What will my heart feel, will I dance for you Jesus, or in awe of you be still, will I stand in your presence or to my kness will I fall, will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all!!!
I can only imagine!
Only the Lord knows when He will call my grandfather home, none of us know how much time we have in this world, we do not have control of that. But what we do have control of is how we choose to live our lives as we are here. I want to live my life in such a way that when I meet my bridegroom face to face I hear the words " well done my good and faithful servant" I want to spend my time here on earth preparing for that wedding feast.

wow,I am soo sorry angie!My last grandpa died about two years ago and I was really close to him.And its hard but when you think about where they are or are going to be it helps relieve some of the pain.Because they aren't in pain anymore!And that song you wrote down is the song I sang at my grandpa's funeral.And that song is what helped me through that time .
hope that helped a little :).
