Life and Death
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 To everything there is a seasonA time for every purpose under heaven A time to be bornAnd a time to dieMy "little" brother, Ben, turned 16 years old today. I remember the moment he was born. I was 11 at the time and present at his birth. I burst into tears when I first saw him. I didn't understand it at the time...but now I know that it was just seeing firsthand for the first time the miracle of life. Happy Birthday little brother, I love you.My grandmother, Beulah Margie Miller, passed away today. I almost don't have any childhood memories without her in it. She was the best Grandmother any little girl could ask for. I burst into tears today when I heard the news. The miracle of death, while wrapped in sadness, is that we are promised, as Christian's, that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." 2 Corin 5:8You will be missed Grandmother, I love you.

you and your family are in my prayers.
I'm sorry. Death in the family is always hard.
