In one week we have had two funerals for family members and in between a marvelous birthday lunch. Mixed with sadness at the loss of Granny B and cousin Eleanor, was the celebration of their new life in heaven with God.
The gathering in of the extended families was magnificent! All 14 grandchildren were present, plus most of the 26 great-grandchildren to participate in the service and laying to rest of Jane Shelton Williams Bowers. What an incredible legacy Jane left behind...descendants who love each other and love the Lord! Cousin Eleanor had a similar legacy.
In between, seven of us gathered for a delightful lunch to celebrate the 30th, 60th and 90th birthdays of the other grandmother, daughter and granddaughter plus birthdays of one more sister and one more granddaughter, most in the lovely springtime.
On top of that amazing gathering was added our cousin, Solvi, all the way from Bronneysund, Norway; a delightful addition to the unbelievable homecoming!
What a lavish Lord we serve!
"...Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
I Corinthians 2:9
