My God Moment of the Day
The day my dad died, I sat for hours by him on the bed, holding his hand and quietly singing the song, "There will be a Day." That song has always had a special place in my heart.
When we opened the ice cream shop, Andi and Big Guy gave me a plaque, with a picture of me and my dad that read,
Bits & Pieces
established in memory of my dad
Carroll Edmondson
who loved ice cream until the day he died.

and he did. More than anyone I ever met. Every day I worked, I saw that plaque hanging by the cash register and it made me smile and think of him.
Today, I closed the shop for business for the last time. I went to my car, turned on the motor and about 3 seconds later, a song came on ~~ "There Will be a Day."
God is always there. Planning things like that to make you aware that He is indeed always with us. Caring about our feelings and sending reminders that we are never alone.

Know this had to be such a hard decision but as you said, family comes first! Glad you had this experience today!
Hope this beautiful Gospel passage gives you comfort! Praying!
Titus 3:4-7 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

I love it when He speaks into our lives like that. Thanks for sharing!!
Lifting up prayers right now!
Psalms 20:5-7 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
