Last Wednesday, my grandfather died. His funeral was today. I delivered the eulogy and the committal. It was hard. Nearly everyone was in tears. That includes me. Since he had been a paratrooper in the 101st Airbourne Division, the local VFW performed their own military ceremony complete with shots fired and a flag given to my grandmother. We said a long, painful goodbye for about a year as he suffered from Lewy Body Dementia in a nursing home. The Lord revealed to me before we moved back to Ashtabula that this was part of His purpose in moving us back here. Today was an important opportunity to reach out to my family with the truth of the gospel. I hope I did well.

my sympathies, brother.
Sowing the seed is all we can do - the results are up to God. Someday you'll see the fruit of today's painful labor of love.
thanks bro
I'm sorry Jason... I hope the Lord will reveal to you quickly the fruit that He brought forth through your prayers and Spirit inspired Words.
