How great thou art

Then sings my soul,

My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!

The chorus of this old gospel hymn just whirled around in my head this morning. I got to do something very special today. When the sun was barely peeking over the horizon Chad took me to meet his papa. The unique thing about this meeting was that it was at Sparkland Hillcrest cemetery. Upon our arrival we went and bought some sunflowers to give his headstone a little pizazz. Chad introduced me and I said hello, then we prayed. I know how much this man meant to my finance. His grandfather is more than just a distant memory or thought to him. As I gazed around we were surrounded by the universal symbol of peace. The cross was every where, beautifully crafted out of stone and granite. I could not help the overwhelming sense of serenity that the Lord put on me in that place. Cemeteries have never made me sad, but always at ease. I guess there is something about putting this old earthly body to rest and sending our souls to Heaven that makes me feel that way. We looped around looking at the different head stones and the dates of different peoples lives. However long or short they were at rest now, and there is something very harmonious about that.

Lord thank you for the opportunity to experience this with my fiance. However small the act may have been I think the impact was massive. We wanted a blessing for our marriage even from our family that has passed on. We know they are here in spirit.

To the angels that are with us in spirit:
