I have been putting off writing this post because it is filled with mixed emotions. Last Thursday, Jim's Grandpa Weimer went home to heaven. He has been in hospice, and we knew his time on earth was short. The last few weeks he has been in a lot of pain and more confused. So on Thursday morning God healed him by taking him home. He is no longer in pain; he is dancing and singing hymns in heaven. I can see him scouting out fishing spots and finding all sorts of wonderful things to eat. He is happy and we are happy for him. BUT, we also miss him.
He has been the most amazing grandpa and great-grandpa. We have sat around our table talking and laughing about all the things he did. One thing I especially appreciated about him was how much he loved us. He LOVED us. He was so proud of his family and grandchildren. He loved spoiling us and taking care of us. But other things we appreciated about him, is how much he loved Grandma Weimer. He loved her so very much and was always serving her and caring for her. He set a great example of what love is. I also love that he loved Jesus, just in the last weeks he would sing hymns and songs of praise. This Friday and Saturday we will celebrate him and all that he has meant to us as a family.
Due to this, we have decided to postpone the parents night out. We had many great volunteers we were willing to do it for us, but we just want to focus on celebrating Grandpa Weimer this week.
I'm gonna end with a verse that I have been thinking about constantly since we have gotten Eli's referral... Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who trust in him!
