Victorious at Last!

A great man has left us. My dear father-in-law went to be with our Lord and Saviour last night. He did not want prayers for healing, as he was ready to meet Jesus face to face. He was at peace with dying and was very much looking forward to going to Heaven. I can envision him now singing with a big smile in his beautiful high tenor, leading the heavenly choir, rejoicing!

The hospital staff commented that it was very rare these days to see a family surround a loved one for their final moments like we did "Pop." Our family was all around him when he left this earth and his earth tent behind, for his new eternal home with Christ.

Pop quoted to me the words of Paul, a couple of weeks ago:

"For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:6-8

What a testimony for Daddy, Carroll, Brother Carroll, Pop, Pop-Pop and Mr J. (the different names we knew him by) to have!

Are you spiritually ready to face Christ right now?

What will your life say about you?
