My dear Grandpa Friesen passed away December 21, 2009. Three days after parting with it's soul, his body was put on display in a casket, an oppurtunity for one last tangible goodbye. He lay there peacefully, silently, free of the illness that normally leaves his body tremoring. He lays there triumphantly, as his children file by with smiles and tears, each one a testament to the life he lived. His children's children too, and their children yet. Upright, humble, and honest, in strict accordance with the Bible. A steadfast man of the Lord, in the Lord's care both in life and now death. A lot of what I am thankful for finds roots in seeds planted by you, Grandpa. I love you and miss you.
The one who sows seeds to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest.
After a lifetime of sowing seeds to please the Spirit, your time has come, Grandpa, to reap the ultimate harvest.
