I'm listening to a CD of Christian songs that Gretchen sent me back in June. These songs are so powerful and joyous--they continue to be a blessing to me. When I told Gretchen this she sais she was "gobsmacked by how spirit filled it was". I agree.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious Name.
You give and take away.
You give and take away.
My heart will choose to say:
Blessed be Your Name
~ Matt Redman

That is one of my favourite Christian songs Jonny and so Gretchen

Gretchen sent me several CDs of praise songs from her church. She was always thinking of ways to help and support others.

Here’s a copy of her last freepmail sent to give me comfort when she learned of the death of my beloved husband Richard.

I had no idea she was so ill. My heart goes out to her son Mark and her large extended family.

I spoke to her only one time but I will always remember her strong faith, lovely voice and lilting laughter.
She is now singing with sweet angels in her happy heavenly home!

Grace

Dear Julie,

I find myself praying one word over you and all your loved ones recently: “Grace.”

Also that you will have grace to focus on your heavenly reunion with Richard, where there will be no pain or suffering, nor any more loss, so as to lessen things now at hand.

Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Tender love and prayers,
Gretchen
