If a funeral can be related to as "incredible", then the one I went to today, was!! This grand lady, was not only the mother to thirteen, but also a grandmother to thirty-nine grandchildren and thirty-two great grands, but she was truly a child of God...
The family shared how no one every left "Grandma's" without hearing about Jesus.....she made sure all the children heard about Him and that they understood His love and sacrifice for each one of them...
Story after story was shared about the close relationships each child and grand had with her....what a legacy she has left....
The legacy we leave is something that only "we" have control over......the things we will be remembered for, will in fact, be about who we are and what we did......Closer to home is, What am I doing and how will I be remembered after I'm gone? It's truly a thought provoking question, don't ya think?
I'm filled with much joy today as I reflect of the events of the day....and I'm so blessed....truly blessed, to have been able to take part in this incredible celebration..... Thank You Pope Family!!
