Yesterday I was able to visit with one of our senior saints that will soon be living eternally in the Savior's presence. She is full of hope and cannot wait to be done with this world and living in heaven with her King. Her only complaint was that she could not understand why God was taking so long to bring her home to heaven. The peace she has and the calm she is exhibiting in the face of death must be absolutely infuriating to Satan and his hoard of demonic losers.
The one thing she was most happy about was the fact that she was able to hear her funeral song. She wanted one song to be sung at her funeral, but she told her family that she was disappointed she wouldn't get to hear it. So a couple of weeks ago a group of musicians from Living Hope went to her home and sang not only her funeral song, but almost an hour of her favorite worship songs.
This is yet another reason why I love the church and my church, Living Hope, in particular. There are gifted Godly people that enjoy nothing more than showing love and compassion to other people. These musicians had a ball doing what they love and providing ministry to a person in her last hours of life. What a joy and privilege to be a follower of Jesus and to a part of a local body of believers that love Jesus, love each other, and love the lost people of the world.
