Monday of Mourning

One of my best friends lost her granddaddy yesterday. Thank goodness they have a faith in the Lord like no other. They know that he is in Heaven, reunited with his wife, and rejoicing with our Savior. I can't imagine not having a relationship with God and trying to mourn for someone... Please keep this incredible family in your prayers.


Also, my grandpa's dog was killed last night. While I realize that this does not exactly compare to losing a human being, if you're anything like us, your pets ARE your family. My grandpa has suffered an unfathomable amount of loss in his life, and his dog was truly his best friend. She has gone everywhere with him for the past 10 years (or maybe even more). Needless to say, they are devastated. Please also keep them in your prayers... Even though losing a dog is different than a family member, they are experiencing loss as well.
