Sweet Aunt Peggy went to be with the Lord Jesus Christ Tuesday evening!
She had transferred from home Hospice care to Hospice House care while Les and I were on a short vacation.
We were in the mountains for some horseback riding and to get away for a few days…I called and Uncle Don relayed the sad news to me.
Sad for us that loved her…But I am sure she is in Heaven at that big table, and surrounded by that big cloud of witnesses…enjoying her race that she had run so very well.
I think of what a Christian life looks like…Peaceful, filled with love, all ways thinking the best, hoping for the best…a quiet calmness…goodness, graciousness, doing for others without a thought of any return…a settledness that comes from a more powerful force than ourselves…whether we realize it or not…but made from a decision from many years ago…maybe a forgotten choice or a knowing choice… but whatever a peace that passed all understanding…that causes a person to live the kind of life I have described above…Surely some people possess that life filled with fire that call to evangelism like Billy Graham… or a life that was strangely warmed at Alders gate… Then proceeded to change their world…
I smile as I think on this…and my heart is strangely warmed with peace and love and hope…I think of “That Cloud” my Daddy, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Grace, of Moses, and the Saints…all having run their race and settled in…cheering us all on…and now Aunt Peggy is part of that “Great Cloud of Witnesses! ” Well Done! Good and Faithful Servant. Well done!

This made me consider my own life. Normally I consider myself to be Christian but my actions of late regarding political posts, gives me pause. I’m so glad I read this so I can get back on track. Thank you so much for this and I hope maybe your aunt has met my parents by now. ❤
Heaven is a wondrous place.
