SMILEEE :)

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18,
"Rejoice always, Pray continuously, Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

When you're placed in a situation where humans simply can't do anything, bible scriptures pop out here and there. So I am so happy this verse stuck out to me and that I was able to keep a smiling face. My grandpa passed away today. And being able to see him leave this earth was a blessing. I believe there were miracles that really opened my eyes. 1) everyone was there. His children, grandchildren, their boyfriends and husbands (haha), it was great having everyone there seeing my grandpa. such a blessing! 2) everyone held hands and bowed their heads in prayer - I didn't think they would do it but they did! Everyone held hands and we prayed to God! It was amazing and a blessing and miraculous, seeing as my relatives aren't Christians!! 3) everyone laid behind their differences and past, and gathered into one room. So many blessings!! I feel so blessed and I couldn't help smiling and thanking God for this wonderful day He has blessed me with. Even with the sorrow of one leaving us, we are still joyful and thankful, because my grandpa is with Jesus now, celebrating :) no more pain and suffering.

PRAISE GOD! HALLELUJAH, AMEN!
