Hug the ones you love

This afternoon, our family lost someone very dear to us after a long hard struggle with cancer. She was an amazing person who had a true heart for Jesus. We know she is singing with her beautiful voice at His feet now. She is no longer in pain. I can hear her sweet laugh now.

There is a song that reminds me of her that has been on my mind all week. If I close my eyes, I can picture and hear her singing it:

I sing because I'm happy. I sing because I'm free. His eye is on the sparrow. And I know He's watching me.

Thank you God for giving us the assurance and peace that through Jesus your son, we have everlasting life when we choose and accept You. Thank you for Sharon and the life and love she had and for her faith in knowing You. I pray for the family as they continue to look to You through this and I know You will give them comfort.

Psalm 34.
