Celebration of Life Part 2

Today my sister, her husband and I drove to Warsaw for my Uncle Lowell's funeral. Lots to absorb yet as my mind replays the events of the last week, but suffice it to say that today was a day of both sorrow and celebration. We celebrated the lives of 2 people (my uncle and his second wife) who have gone on to Heaven, and while they were not perfect but flawed people like all of us, they were forgiven. Today was a reminder of GOD's faithfulness and amazing grace toward us, undeserving though we are. FATHER, thank you!
He's Always Been Faithful by Sara Groves

Morning by morning I wake up to find
the power and comfort of God's hand in mine.
Season by season I watch him amazed, in
awe of the mystery of his perfect ways.

All I have need of his hand will provide.
He's always been faithful to me.

I can't remember a trial or a pain he did
not recycle to bring me gain. I can't
remember one single regret in serving
God only and trusting his hand.

All I have need of his hand will provide.
He's always been faithful to me.

This is my anthem, this is my song, the
theme of the stories I've heard for so long.
God has been faithful, he will be again.
His loving compassion, it knows no end.

All I have need of his hand will provide.
He's always been faithful to me.
