At Peace





We will be burying my FATHER-IN-LAW in a few days.  43 and a half years he was my other Dad.  Almost a year to the date of my Mother-In-Law's death, he passed away.  I am so tired I cannot see straight.  

I have been going through photos trying to find pictures of him with his Wife, Children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren to show at the service.  Pictures of him flying planes he made, model trains, fishing, etc.  A bit overwhelmed. 


This alone is emotional.

Since December 2016, three of our Parents have died.  Three.  
Grieving.  What can I say... I'm grieving.  

My Dad passed in December 2016.  
My Mother-In-Law in January 2017.
My Father-In-Law in February 2018.

The 7 hour drive to Oklahoma was long.  We were able to visit with him the afternoon before he died then attend a Hospice meeting.  He had been fighting Stage 4 Lung Cancer in both lungs.  Visited him the evening before he passed as well.  

My Husband's brother called us the next morning at the Motel to tell us that he thought Dad was dying.  He passed as we were driving to his Home. 

My Brother-In-Law said that when he walked into Dad's bedroom to ask him if he were awake, he said Dad was looking around the room, he gasped and was gone.  Peacefully he went to be with The LORD.

The entire time he was suffering, he never seemed angry, afraid or complained.  After his wife died, he missed her terribly and wanted to die on the anniversary of her death.  This is when he truly wanted to die.  2 days later he departed from this world and entered into Heaven.  He received Christ as a 60 year old man.  He was 87.   

The Hospice Nurses were there before us.  The oxygen tubes had been removed as he was laying in his bed covered with a quilt.  He was gone.  Made his entrance into Heaven.  

There's much to think about.  Much to do. 
Appreciate prayers,
d

So sorry for your loss. It is wonderful that he was saved and is with Christ. Take time for yourself when you can and rest in the comfort only God can provide.

I love the fact that he was looking around as I am sure he was seeing something wonderful that we on this side of the veil cannot see. I am so sorry for your loss.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
