Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

Shortly after my post on Friday, I got the news that my beloved grandmother had passed away earlier that morning. This wasn't a surprise, we knew it would happen at anytime for she was 98 years old. However, it's still not easy.
She was an extraordinary woman and loved by everyone.

I want to share with you a pretty amazing gift-in her own words. Her caregiver (prompted by Providence I am sure), recorded my Grammy's evening prayer on her cellphone and this is how it reads from the bulletin of the funeral which was yesterday.

"Our Heavenly Father,
We thank Thee,
We know that Thou art available, Lord,
Willing to hear us if we are to call upon Thee.
Let us be faithful in calling, receiving Thy answers,
And in letting Thee speak to us according to Thy will.
We thank Thee for all things good, that come from Thy Hand.
In Jesus name, Amen."

She prayed this just hours before she went home to heaven and into her Heavenly Father's embrace.
