My wife's Mom passed away early this morning. Wow, what a Godly woman. Full of Love. Full of Faith. Here's a song that is one of my best memories of her:

Oh, I'm sure she's dancing with Jesus right now. As a worship leader, you see things in a service that not all people see. Some 30+ years as I was leading, I was picking the guitar and switching between melody and harmony, thinking the sound of our music was surely reaching heaven as we sang this song "Open our eyes Lord, we want to see Jesus..."
And in the midst of our singing, my wife's mom, with her Dutch accent and all could be heard above most of us and I got a little miffed that now it didn't sound as good. And then I opened my eyes and looked at her. I could never adequately describe her face. She glowed like an angel. She was in a different realm.
And then I broke down. I was singing that song. Meanwhile, she was living that song. It's like she was literally with Jesus. I'll never forget that moment and it's a beautiful moment forever in my memory.
My wife and I sit here this evening crying and laughing...but mostly rejoicing that her Mom is right were she always wanted to be. With Jesus!
