Yesterday was beautiful, but hard.
And emotionally draining.

As you know from my previous post, Oma passed away last week and yesterday was her memorial. The service was beautiful and really highlighted what a woman of faith she was. Her dedication to my Opa, to her role as a woman of God, a wife, a mother, and our Oma. She was always busy caring for her house and garden, how she presented herself, for others, with an unfading joyful spirit.

She is in Heaven now, rejoicing in the presence of the Lord. Whole and complete, made perfect in Him. What a joy and hope for such a time as this! The Lord is so gracious to give us this comfort. Though I will miss her dearly, I can't wait to see her face again someday, and praise our Savior in perfection for all eternity. Praise Him, for He is great and has blessed us beyond what we could ever ask for or deserve!

Yesterday, there were tears. Today, there is hope for the future and joy in the memories of my beloved Oma.
