Heaven

What I was Thinking ... was how real Heaven is to me today. Grandma Bare died this morning. She is actually an "extended" grandma to me~ she is my sister's husband's grandma. My sister has been her caretaker for several years now, taking on the burden of caring for an elderly woman until she was 96 years old. My sister is a very special lady! Grandma loved my children, she loved her "preacher boy" Chris. She was a dear, Christian woman who everyone would just sit around and listen to her wisdom. I have never known a woman like her before. Grandma Bare's health has been failing for sometime and Hospice finally came in a couple of weeks ago to help my sister. On Saturday night my sister awoke from a dream that seemed so real to her. She dreamt that Grandma Bare came into her room and was standing there and just said, "I am so tired of lying in that bed." (it's been a long time since Grandma has been out of bed). My sister said it was just so real; Grandma never spoke after that, she just laid there with a blank look. My sister told me this morning that she truly believes that on Saturday night is when Grandma went into the presence of Jesus! Her frail body, barely breathing layed in bed for 2 more days, but her soul had already left. Isn't God so good ... that is what I was thinking.
