Make it Right

Been thinking about Daddy today. Actually, I think of him often. There's probably not a day that goes by that he, my Mom or my brother don't cross my mind. And I'm thinking about his transition to heaven. Tomorrow will be two years since he changed his address.

Y'all might know we recently had a water leak while out of town. Lots of upheaval here in the Kelly house! But progress is being made. Soon we expect everything to be back in place. Soon we expect things to be made right.

I know, without a doubt, when my Daddy left this world that he was immediately in the presence of the One in whom he had placed his faith and trust. In an instant, all that was wrong...pain, confusion, inability to get around as he wanted...was made right. In an instant. The next breath. When believers leave this world, no matter how peacefully or tragically, in an instant all is made right.

My Daddy gave me a necklace at a time when I believe he knew his memory was slipping. It says, "my little girl yesterday, my friend today, my daughter forever". It's rarely not around neck. I think he bought it realizing what he was facing. It now serves to remind me the family I was born to is with the Lord. I'll be the next to join. I honestly think we'll meet up on Edisto one glorious day.

Consider carefully what the Lord has said. His word is contained in scripture. Many disclaim it, but study for yourself to ascertain it's worth, value and truth.

Is your faith strong? Is your belief solid and are your feet firmly on the Rock? Join me in praying for those who do not know the God we do. Pray for those in harms way because of their faith. Pray for your family in Christ. Pray for those who have been tasked with teaching dumb sheep and shepherding a difficult flock. Pray for a hurting world. And pray those without faith might be granted that precious gift before it's all made right.
