I’ll never forget the day I got a phone call about my grandfather passing away…or the journey along the way that lead to traveling for his funeral and the whole process of just being there as a high school kid, not really understanding but knowing that something more was happening…and I guess reflecting on it now, Praise God for that journey.
Okay, what chu got this time?
Today is my grandfathers death anniversary. You know, anniversary’s are supposed to be celebrations. I guess when I was younger, I wasn’t open enough to God to understand why we have these.
But looking back onto my grandfather’s life…it really is a reflection on how I’ve lived and how He’s really influenced me to grow as a man of God. He took care of all of us (his grandchildren) all at the same time. Everyday, as far as I can remember, he lived for us.
By all means, that’s enough to convince me he’s in heaven. He lived his life to prove a point.
To get to the point, I guess I can end with this,
He never said no to us. When it came to helping us, helping others, loving his family, accepting Christ, he said yes. I look into how he raised me and I can see a connection in the way I serve. I will say yes, when You call Lord.
Yes, Lord. Like my grandfather, I will say yes to every opportunity to serve you, and serve others. Simple as that.
Praise God for the day God decided to call him to His kingdom. He may have left the earth, but all my grandfather was doing was just giving the Lord another yes into giving up everything he loved on this earth, for Him.
We miss you Tay.
Deo Gloria
