Our sweet, precious Ma passed away this past Monday evening. Joel spent a lot of his childhood with Ma and admired her strength and intense love. She was also a true testament of a faithful woman. Ma could usually be found with her Bible close by and a sweet word about God's Grace was usually on her lips. I was talking with Mom about Ma and she said that Ma's legacy was the faith she passed down through the generations. She said that Ma brought her children to church, who in turn brought Mom to church, who then brought her boys, Casey and Joel to church, and we bring Titus to church. I imagine that she will be blessed beyond measure in heaven as she helped to bring so many people to Christ. After all, isn't that why we are all here in the first place?
When Joel was saying good-bye to her over the phone, he told her that he loved her and that we would all see each other again. What a wonderful thought. I look forward to seeing Ma again and until then, I know that we will all pass along the dear memories of her. I can only smile when I think that she is gazing at our wonderful Father's face and that He is so happy to have her Home.
