We traveled to Oklahoma on Friday, December 19th to celebrate round one of many Christmases with the Liddell (Jake's mom's family) and the Bower Christmas (my dad's side). We always celebrate the weekend before Christmas and it works well b/c everyone gets to be there. We got a phone call Friday night about 11:30 that my dad's dad had passed away. He had gotten very ill and weak the past few months but I don't think you ever are really ready for it to be over. There was so much peace though because about 4 months ago as my grandpa's health began to decline he moved in with my parents, and during that time my dad was able to lead him in making a decision to give his life to Jesus! His 7 kids decided grandpa's love was his family and that he would want a family run service; so Jake got to do his first funeral - it was awesome! He told great stories of grandpa's life and clearly presented the gospel. I know grandpa was blessed!
John 5:24
Who ever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, he has crossed over from death to life.
