Scattered over the map, my husband, David, and his four siblings rarely get together. So when his brother, who lives in France, planned a trip to Colorado several months in advance, all of them, save one, made plans to come as well. The one who couldn't plan to attend was their sister Pat, who lived in Texas and who, for seven years, had been battling early-onset Alzheimer's.

The big reunion day finally arrived. The remaining four siblings were together at lunch when a phone call from Pat's husband came in. Pat had passed away.

--It had been sixteen years since David and his brothers and sisters had been together. Yet, on the of their sister's passing, there they were with each other, to comfort, to mourn, to reminisce. That evening at dinner, we all prayed for the family. Pat was now Home with the Lord Jesus. Our gracious all-knowing God had called her home. ~~

--"Father God, You alone know all things--what was, what is, and what is to be. Thank You that even in the most difficult times, we can depend upon Your great compassion, love, and grace. In Christ Jesus Name~ amen"
