Please pray for us. My Granddaddy passed away on Sunday. What an amazing man he was! And now my Dad is mourning the loss of two parents (Grandmom died in April). We were very, very blessed to have them both until they were in their 80s. And we were very blessed to watch them enjoy a rich relationship with Christ. We are leaving to go out of town this afternoon.
More about my sweet Granddaddy later...

About Me
- Renee
- I am a seeker of truth, made alive by Jesus Christ.I am blessed with an amazing husband,two sweet sons, and a side-kick daughter, all whom I adore. I really cherish my time with family and friends. I have moved from Atlanta to rural Alabama about 4 years ago. But currently we are comfortably settled in a suburban area in my hometown. Things that I enjoy are interior decorating, crafting, reading, classical Christian education, baking, journaling, traveling, hosting celebrations, and collecting quotes and verses. I struggle with over commitment, being patient (and seeing beyond the here and now), creating my own little idols, and many, many other things that keep me at the foot of the cross where I belong. Life is never, ever dull with us! Praying that you will find honesty, encouragement, creativity, and a heart that, even amidst constant struggles, always desires for Christ to be glorified!

Lord, I ask that You give peace to the whole family as they mourn the loss of their Granddaddy. Amen.
~Luke
We will be praying for your family!
My grandfather passed away 2 years ago this November. We had enough warning to be able to gather for the end, but still, it was very stressful and emotional.
It's very hard to see your parents sad - especially your dad. I think that was the hardest part for me. It was wonderful to attend such an honoring funeral - when you have a loved one die who leaves behind a faithful legacy it is very inspiring. It really makes you want to see more clearly and live more purposefully.
But still reality is there when you come home again, and sometimes it IS stressful and emotional and difficult. I'll pray for you tonight, and your family, to experience help and peace in the days to come.
Love,
Jen
