Once, before the foundations of the world,

Jesus and His Father had a conversation

about the great plan of redemption.

That conversation included you.

Jesus looked down the corridors of time

and knew that you would be born.

He saw your needs when He said to His Father, “I will go.”

At the Father’s appointed time,

Jesus came to earth so that you

would never need to be far from Him.

What an incredible journey He made;

what an overwhelming expression of love He made;

what an awesome purpose He had in mind.

You were on His heart.

When He left His home in heaven, He saw you;

when He became a man on earth, He was seeking you;

when He stretched out His hands upon the cross,

He was reaching out to you;

When He returned to His Father,

He was preparing a place for you.

You are the sheep He has come to shepherd,

to guide, to feed, to protect, to shelter, and to carry.

You are the one He calls His own.



WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA!

It hurts so much when a Dear person like Ma Lyson is taken from us. As with my own Mother, i asked GOD why does this have to be so? The answer that was revealed humbled me.

Mothers, like Fathers accept burdens during their lifetime in hopes their Children remain happy safe and healthy. Ma Lyson accepted this final burden with Honor, Courage, and Dignity. Therefore, i want to Thank you Ma Lyson for the Love and Caring you shared for your Children and Grandchildren.

Ma Lyson will be deeply missed but i know someday we'll feel the warmth of our Mother's arms around us.
