My condolences to Uncle Jim and the whole Johnson family.  Auntie Grace was deeply loved by so many and will be deeply missed.  She was such a special sister to my mother-in-law Louise and such a special aunt to Bill.  It meant so much to our family that Auntie Grace visited Bill while he was in Hospice and also came to his celebration of life.  Now she is re-united with so many loved ones in heaven.  So thankful that one day we will all be together again.  Hugs!❤️
I've been pondering on what story to share.  Today while l was straightening Mom and Dad's room, l saw Mom's little "Bread of Life" scripture box. Right away the story behind this, popped into my head. One of Mom's friend saw her little scripture box and exclaimed, oh l'd love to have one of those. Needless to say, Mom gave it to her. Over the years Mom ended up acquiring two of them. Yes, that's my little Mom always thinking of others. She told me one day that the Lord told her to give it to her friend and because she listened and gave, she got two.

Grace always shared scripture during our encounters and was always ready with words of encouragement. This poem written by our dearest first Pastor’s wife nearing her end of time on this earth that reminds me of Grace’s anticipation to see her beloved Saviour. 

                                Afraid of What?

Afraid to see my Saviour’s face

The one who saved me by his grace?

To talk to the saints of old,

As we walk down the streets of gold?

The Shikinah glory will shine everywhere,

With wonder and bliss and joy share

In singing praises to Jesus the King,

With hallelujahs the heavens shall ring!

To see my spirit release and sore?

For pain and suffering will be no more.

No dark glasses now to dim my view.

The Saviour’s hand will make all new.

With tenderness and love, my sorrow flies

To meet my loved ones gone on before,

A joyous reunion forevermore?

We’ll all sing praises our hearts in one accord,

To Jesus our Master, our King and our Lord

Immortal, incorruptible and free from strife?

So I’ll welcome death as a sweet friend.

Afraid to die? No, not me.

Not since Jesus set me free!
