It feels good to enjoy warm weather. We are preparing for a busy few weeks ahead. The month of June flew by because of all the non-stop action. We moved the end of May, Peter John and Lizzy enjoyed a week at Bible Camp, Ethan and I went to CO for TLI meetings, and we attended a Larson Family Reunion the last weekend in June. In the midst of all the busyness, by Grandma Beverlee Frank passed away here in town. She had been suffering congestive heart failure, kidney failure, and diabetes. It was hard on the kids since they were separated from us when it happened (Ethan and I were in CO at the time), but God comforted us all and we were reunited. The funeral was very uplifting as we thought about Grandma being in heaven with Jesus. That made it joyous, though we were grieving. The girls and I sang "Blessed Assurance" at her funeral, and the whole congregation sang many Gospel songs that brought comfort and hope. We finished the funeral with a special piece that my sisters and dad sang together called "I've Got A Mansion." Grandma loved country music and especially country Gospel music. This was a great way to end, thinking about heaven and God's blessings to those who belong to Him.
