A Servant's Heart

A Servant’s Heart

There are so many thoughts that are in my mind,

Just waiting to take over and bring me to a place of imagery.

A servant’s heart is what she had, giving and giving to overflowing,

It didn’t matter where she was or what she did, it was with her whole heart.

As I wake up from this dream, I want to reach out and touch her one more time,

To feel her hug and to hold her close and let her know just how much I care.

But that was not His plan,

He wanted her with him to be forever.

She was my Grandma but more than that she was my friend,

She taught me to love the Lord.

She taught me to see His creation in the deer, the fish and the flowers.

As I look at these things I will remember her and the Lord’s love for them that shone through her.

She never gave up on life, on people or on hope.

She served her husband of 60 years everyday of her life.

She gave up so much and found joy in the simple things,

She loved and for that she was loved.

My Grandma was a woman who feared the Lord,

For that she will be admired and held close until once again I see her.

But until I do I will live my life the way she would have, with continued hope in the Lord, and continued growth in knowledge of Him and the love that He pours out on others.
